Description
Launched in 2011, the SMU Black Alumni Scholarship provides direct tuition assistance to selected members of the Association of Black Students as they complete their degrees at SMU. Though the amount given varies, each year the Black Alumni of SMU Board seeks to award $10,000 in scholarships. All money raised for the Black Alumni Scholarship goes directly to the students selected.
“Receiving the Black Alumni scholarship was an incredible blessing! I remember vividly, praying that God would make a move in my Student Account and He did just that! He blew my mind with this scholarship! I would be have been happy with any amount but the Black Alumni donors went above and beyond! I will never forget your belief in me! This scholarship carried me through my next 3 years at SMU! Being the 2014 SMU Black Alumni scholarship recipient is still a highlight of my time at SMU! I’m eternally grateful to all the donors, board members and members that made this scholarship possible! Thank you for your treasured blessing!”
