Each year SMU gratefully recognizes its President’s Associates, a select group of SMU supporters who contribute $1,000 or more in current-use gifts to the University during SMU’s fiscal year.

Current-use gifts provide an immediate impact across all areas of university life – from funding scholarships and groundbreaking faculty research to enhancing the campus experience – building the foundation from which SMU can launch even more ambitious efforts to shape world changers.
