DFI Educational Trust | Promoting Our Youth

History | The Outing benefits the DFI Educational Trust scholarship funds at Penn State University and the University of Pittsburgh. Since 2006, this Golf Outing has raised $480,000 in net proceeds for the DFI Educational Trust. Part of these proceeds have endowed the DFI Educational Trust Scholarship Fund at Carnegie Mellon University. The Carnegie Mellon fund has awarded over $112,000 in scholarships since 2012. The Pitt and Penn Funds made their first awards ($2500 each) in 2020.
