2021 Rally for Smith!

Educating students to lead and to achieve their goals is at the heart of everything we do at Smith. Take, for instance, Diamond Lewis ’22 who has been diligently working to make her dream of being a neonatologist come true. 

“Since I was a little kid, I’ve promised my parents that I’d work my hardest so that they didn’t have to take out loans or help me too much with college. I’ve always been that kid who, when I learn about a scholarship, I go to the library to work on the application. I was always in the guidance counselor’s office in high school, I was always working to get to college with the least debt possible. Getting scholarship aid—it’s just a weight lifted off my shoulders.” Diamond Lewis ’22 

Imagine if this bright young mind had missed out on the Smith experience simply because the cost got in her way. Your donation makes it possible for Smith to provide robust scholarship support that opens doors for the best, most promising students from around the world, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.

This month, your gift to The Smith Fund—gifts of any size—will be particularly powerful. Current and emeriti trustees will match all gifts made to The Smith Fund in February, dollar-for-dollar, up to $700,000. We’re seeking 2,021 gifts by February 28 in honor of the great class of 2021.

Rally for Smith with a gift today, and you can take pride in supporting confident and passionate Smithies ready to lead the world.
