Each year SMU gratefully recognizes the President's Associates, a select group of SMU supporters who contribute cumulatively $1,000 or more to any area of the University during our fiscal year June 1 – May 31. President's Associates share a clear vision for the future of SMU and are committed to making a difference in the lives of its students.

Through their generosity, President's Associates demonstrate a deep commitment to the University and help ensure that SMU will continue to provide an outstanding educational experience. An annual testament to SMU's momentum, their gifts support the University's continuing rise in quality.

Membership, which is awarded each year, is based on total gifts, pledge payments and matching gifts received in the previous fiscal year, June 1 – May 31.  Alumni under 35 who graduated from SMU within the past 10 years are eligible for membership at 50 percent of the minimum gift amounts listed.  President’s Associates receive special communications from SMU and are acknowledged in University publications. President’s Associates also receive invitations to special University and donor events in Dallas and other cities.
