Our giving to SMU has a direct, notable, and deeply impactful effect throughout the University. To put it simply, our giving makes a difference!
— Nicole and Geoffrey Small ’86, Co-chairs for the Parent Leadership Council
Since tuition only covers about three-quarters of an SMU education, our students rely on the generosity of alumni, parents and friends who make current-use contributions. These current-use gifts provide annual support for academic programs, student experiences, and faculty members who shape a new generation of world changers.
In addition to the satisfaction of knowing our gifts make a difference for our students and their peers, SMU provides special recognition and benefits to parents who choose to give at leadership levels each fiscal year. Parents automatically receive benefits with cumulative gifts at the following levels to any area of SMU. Parent giving benefits include the following at various leadership levels:
The Parent Leadership Council plays an important role in supporting SMU by strengthening ties between the University and parents of current SMU students and increasing gifts to the SMU Parent Fund. Our current members are listed below.
