About

Launching the $20.26 Class Cohort Giving Challenge.

The idea is simple: SMU students, or their family and friends, can make a gift of $20.26 to their Class Cohorts or Student Body Association Clubs any time before 11:59 PM on Wednesday May 6, 2026.

As part of the challenge, participating donors have the opportunity to receive an SMU tote bag or a giving cord to wear at commencement, recognizing their participation and their support of future SMU graduates.

In the “Send my gift to…” section of the giving form, write the name of the class cohort or student club you wish to support and that’s where your gift will go.

Your gifts fund the graduation ceremonies, activities, and traditions of SMU students, fueling their path to vibrant communities and careers.

Thank you for supporting our students!
