The support of Smith donors ensures that the doors to excellence and opportunity remain open to the most eager minds, creating a more equitable academic experience that raises every individual.

Generations of Smithies have stepped up, including many younger alums who are making their very first endowed gifts, to support students who need financial aid to attend Smith. Our admissions applications are increasing dramatically as students from around the country and the world recognize the unparalleled experiences and outstanding support that Smith provides.
