Uplift Tomorrow's Podiatric Leaders
Your gift goes directly to scholarship funds help to cover tuition, fees, and living expenses for students in any of SMU's podiatric programs. These funds enable SMU students to focus more on their education and less on holding down a job or taking out student loans.
In the words of a student:
"Support from donors like you makes students less stressed about paying tuition and living expenses. Personally, it makes me feel like I am on the right track and joining a community where the donors are invested in the success of the students."
