GAP Day

GAP day

If tuition was all the funding RIT had, we would run out of money to keep the university going in late February each year. That's our "gap" day - when we must officially depend on other funding sources, like donor gifts, to sustain the full RIT experience for students.

With your annual unrestricted support at any level, there's no limit to what RIT Tigers can achieve.

Choose to close the gap today.
