Here for Every Voice
According to the Institute for Higher Education Policy, nearly eight out of 10 families cannot afford college. That’s why Smith College has launched an ambitious initiative: to raise $75 million for scholarship aid. Together, we will give voice to students of all backgrounds. Please join us in ensuring that cost is never an obstacle for any Smithie.
With your partnership, we will open Smith’s gates to the best minds. We will create opportunities that didn’t exist before. We will educate the next generation of women leaders who will use their voices to lift communities, change policies, disrupt convention and create a more just and equitable world. Making a difference is what Smithies do best.

“As the first in my family to attend college, I consider myself lucky. In today’s knowledge economy, without college access there is no level playing field, there is no equity, there is no American dream.”
