Announcing the 21st-century scholars program

Olivia Cappello '14 Named Inaugural 21st-century Scholar

Beginning Fall 2012, recent graduates can support Smith students in a brand new way. Smith Fund gifts from alumnae in the classes of 2000-2012, also known as 21st-century Alumnae, will directly support students through the new 21st-century Scholars program.

The 21st-century Scholars program is powered by the participation of all recent graduates. For every $20,000 in Smith Fund support raised from alumnae in these classes, a new Scholar will be named. This year's goal is to raise $100,000 from the classes of 2000-2012, which would name a total of five Scholars.

The first $20,000 has already been raised thanks to the collective generosity of more than 370 alumnae in these classes. Olivia Cappello '14, a junior majoring in government, came to Smith from Woburn, Massachusetts. Click to read more about Olivia's path to campus and favorite Smith experiences.
