Give SMU Days 2024

YOUR SUPPORT TODAY PREPARES THE PODIATRIC LEADERS OF TOMORROW

As a podiatric medicine supporter, you bring Samuel Merritt’s mission to life: creating skilled professionals who serve diverse communities. Thank you for transforming healthcare with us!

Since you share our vision for a healthier future, we wanted to share SMU’s 2024 podiatric medicine priorities with you: 

• Increase scholarships so every student can pursue their dreams of a career in podiatry. 

• Transform the workforce so future podiatric providers reflect the diversity of their patients. 

• Support students from underrepresented communities, improving their lives for themselves and their families.

Will you join us as we advance these causes through scholarship giving?

Scholarship funds help to cover tuition, fees, and living expenses enabling SMU students to focus more on their education and less on holding down a job or taking out student loans.  

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to be extended this scholarship, which comes at a time of need. I wasn’t lucky enough to have my expenses covered with the loans I was approved for and needed financial assistance. I aspire to open my private office and integrate everything I learn to help my patients. Without scholarship support, I would be barely keeping my head above water in financial turmoil.”
