Together, We Power the Next Generation: Join Us in New York for our Fundraising Gala
You are cordially invited to join RIT Kosovo (A.U.K.) for an evening dedicated to investing in the next generation of leaders from Kosovo.
Following the success of our Prishtina Gala, where our community came together to raise €150,000 in support of student scholarships, we are bringing that same spirit of impact to New York.
Our goal for the NY Gala 2026 is to raise $150,000 to help ensure that talented students at RIT Kosovo can access an American-accredited education regardless of their financial circumstances.
Why Your Support Matters
65% of students rely on financial support through scholarships.
At RIT Kosovo, we believe that a student’s potential should not be limited by their ability to afford their studies. Scholarships give talented young people the opportunity to pursue their education, develop their skills, and prepare to contribute to Kosovo and beyond. For more than 20 years, RIT Kosovo has prepared students for careers in business, technology, government, entrepreneurship, and other fields, with many alumni now making an impact not only across Kosovo, but leaving a global footprint.
The fundraising target represents an investment in students who have the ability, ambition, and determination to become the leaders, innovators, and professionals of the next generation.
An Evening with a Purpose
The NY Gala brings together alumni, families, friends, community leaders, partners, and supporters of RIT Kosovo who believe in the power of education and in the potential of Kosovo's young people. Together, we have the opportunity to turn generosity into opportunity, helping more students pursue an education that can change the trajectory of their lives and strengthen the future of Kosovo.
Join us as we work together to Power the Next Generation.
Sponsorship of the 2026 New York Gala is an opportunity to turn generosity directly into student opportunity. The full amount of every sponsorship contribution will be directed to the RIT Kosovo Scholarship Fund. Every dollar donated through these packages will support scholarships for talented students who might otherwise be unable to access an RIT Kosovo education. Sponsors are welcome to attend the Gala together with their invited guests. We kindly ask sponsors to coordinate their anticipated attendance with RIT Kosovo in advance so that appropriate seating arrangements can be made. No fixed number of guests will be assigned according to sponsorship level.
