ATTRACTING THE BEST STUDENTS

Women choose Smith for the quality of its teaching, the depth of its resources that support the curriculum and campus life, a student body composed of intelligent women with strong personal goals, and the beauty of the campus. Today's students, coming of age in the 21st century, are also attracted by Smith's tradition of preparing women to succeed in the sciences—and now engineering—and by the diversity of Smith's student body.

The Best StudentsThe two key elements of Smith's ability to support its programs and offer meaningful financial aid are the endowment and annual support of the college through the Alumnae and Parents Fund. This combination of long-term support from endowment earnings and $10 million (2004-05) in annual funds allows Smith to invest in promising programs and extend assistance to talented women from throughout the world who seek a challenging education.

As we move into a century when new careers are developing in nearly every discipline, alumnae support -- past, present, and future -- remains essential to Smith's capacity to maintain its excellence and thereby attract the best women students.
