Throughout the month, all donations, no matter the size, will go directly toward keeping a Smith education accessible and affordable.
By giving before December ends, you'll empower hundreds of Smith students to launch bright futures on our campus, setting them on a course to change the world. We're counting on you to rise to the challenge and help Smith meet its promise to provide an exceptional education to all students, regardless of their financial need.
Please give this season's most powerful gift.

Here is the story of a third student supported by gifts to The Smith Fund: https://www.smith.edu/about-sm...
Belise Bwiza '20 came to Smith from Kigali, Rwanda. She states: "I wouldn't have applied to Smith if I hadn’t dared to hope to receive financial aid. I also came to realize that if a school like Smith could use their resources to invest in me, it meant that I was actually worth something and that I would do big things in life, not only for myself, but also for my family and my country."
1813 days ago by Smith CollegeIn only 10 days, we have raised $500,000. Thank you! Please continue to spread the word. Every gift--no matter the size--makes a difference!

She states: “My financial aid has lifted an extreme burden off of me and my family. My parents have been forced to pay extremely high medical bills, and will continue to as my sister and I go to follow-up appointments and undergo further medical procedures. I would not have been able to attend Smith without my generous financial aid package.”
