Gathering and giving

RCSI has a proud legacy of giving back to the next generation of healthcare leaders – the reunion is an opportunity to reconnect, rekindle happy memories of student days and pave the way for aspiring students.

Led by alumni, for future alumni, class giving is an important tradition at RCSI. Rooted in our mission of empowering the future of healthcare, class giving offers an opportunity to support students in a way that is personally meaningful to you.

Making a difference

Over the last 10 years, RCSI student programmes have helped over 400 students. Every donation through class giving directly contributes to the Student Hardship Fund, Scholarships, Clinical Elective Grants and Research Summer School. These initiatives are the heartbeat of our institution, shaping exceptional healthcare leaders and transforming patient lives globally.
