Ways to Give

By expanding our access to scholarship aid, we can provide sustainable funding that will strengthen the college and that will support students from all backgrounds in perpetuity.

• Full Endowed Scholarship Fund
  $1 million or more to generate approximately the income required to cover the cost of tuition for a student receiving full financial aid. An endowed gift of $1.5 million or more generates approximately the annual income required to cover the cost of tuition, room and board. Donors may specify certain broad preferences for recipients such as majors, Ada Comstock Scholars, international students or other key demographics.
• Partial Endowed Scholarship Fund
  $250,000 or more to generate income toward financial aid grants. Donors may specify certain broad preferences as described above.
• Unrestricted Endowed Scholarship Fund
  $150,000 or more to support students with demonstrated financial need as determined by the college.

Planned Giving: Grécourt Match III

A generous widower whose wife was an alum from the Class of 1959 has committed $1.8 million for financial aid to inspire others to make planned gifts to Smith.

Make a new planned gift (for example, fund a charitable gift annuity or make a Smith bequest in your will) and your gift will be matched with a current donation to financial aid. For each new gift, 10% of the value will be contributed to financial aid at Smith, up to $10,000 per match. And you will become a member of the Grécourt Society.

Your planned gift can be for any purpose, although financial aid is especially welcome.

Learn more about planned gifts and the Grécourt Match III.

A generous alumna has anonymously pledged $10 million to support student scholarships at Smith and inspire others to increase their support through the Here for Every Voice Gift Matching Program: Generation to Generation.

How the Program Works

Gifts above $100,000 to either establish a new endowed scholarship fund or add to an existing endowed scholarship fund will be matched, increasing the value of the fund and maximizing its impact.
