Established in 1975, the Ada Comstock Scholars Program enables women of nontraditional college age to complete a bachelor of arts degree at a realistic pace, either part time or full time. Women who are at least 24 years old (or will turn 24 during your first semester at Smith) or have a dependent other than a spouse or are veterans apply to Smith through this program. Each Ada Comstock student attends the same classes and fulfills the same requirements as do all other Smith students. Their strong motivation and commitment provide an example for students of traditional college age; the diversity of their life experience enriches the classroom and their expectations challenge the faculty. Their achievements confirm the academic standards of the college.
The Ada Comstock Scholars Program combines the rigorous academic challenges of Smith with flexibility for women beyond the traditional college age by providing options for reduced course loads, special academic advising, career counseling and diverse housing options. Financial aid is available to each woman with demonstrated need.
There are approximately 170 women currently enrolled in the Ada Comstock Scholars Program; some bring their families with them, some come alone, some with a partner or spouse. Most arrive having earned between 32 and 64 transferable college credits in liberal arts courses.
