The ITAC Graduation Projects Support is an annual ITIDA program designed to fund the ICT-related graduation projects of fourth-year engineering and computer science students at Egyptian universities. The FY2025/26 cycle opened for applications on January 25, 2026 and closed on February 26, 2026. The program provides micro-grants of up to EGP 30,000 per project to cover costs associated with developing and completing an ICT graduation project, forming part of ITIDA's broader talent-development pipeline for the Egyptian technology sector.

Eligibility is strictly limited to individual fourth-year (senior) undergraduate students enrolled in engineering or computer science faculties at Egyptian universities. Institutional applicants — companies, universities as entities, or research organisations — are not eligible. The project itself must be ICT-related in scope. Evaluation is conducted using a unified yes/no checklist in which all criteria must be answered affirmatively; a single failing criterion eliminates the application from consideration. The application package consists of a student application form, a proposal template, and a budget form.

Completed applications are submitted by email to itacgp@itida.gov.eg, and budget-specific questions are directed to a separate address at Gbudget@itida.gov.eg. Given the annual cycle pattern, the FY2026/27 round is expected to open around January 2027. Students preparing for the next cycle should focus on framing their graduation project within ICT domains such as artificial intelligence, IoT, cybersecurity, or software development, and should coordinate with their academic supervisors early, as faculty involvement is expected to be part of the application documentation. The EGP 30,000 ceiling covers materials, computing resources, and other direct project costs.
