Launching on 31 March 2026, this spring campaign from DCU Educational Trust invites graduates around the world to support DCU programmes that advance doctoral research across a wide range of areas, from sustainability to cancer treatment, and provide life-changing scholarships for young people from underrepresented backgrounds.
Our graduates are a valued part of the DCU community, offering vital support for the next generation through volunteering, mentoring students and donating to impactful initiatives.
Speaking about his ongoing support of the Alumni Fund, DCU Electronic Engineering graduate Shay Walsh said:
“I’m really proud to be a DCU graduate and to be able to support the Alumni Fund. This is a university where research and innovation are at the heart of everything they do, and I can’t wait to see what comes next.”
