SMU Latino Alumni Association Giving Day

Fund scholarship

In 2009, the Latino Alumni Board established the Latino Alumni Scholarship to encourage retention of SMU students. Each year we award at least one scholarship. From 2009 to 2022 we’ve awarded a total of 54 scholarships to SMU undergraduate or graduate students in need of financial assistance to complete his or her SMU degree. Please join us in supporting SMU Students.
