The Black Alumni of SMU group keeps alumni connected to SMU and each other through a variety of social, cultural, professional and academic programs. Our goal is to help recruit and retain academically talented minority students at SMU. Opportunities include:

Giving to the Black Alumni Scholarship Fund
Alumni Student Recruitment
The Developing Dynamic Leaders student mentoring program
Networking with other professionals

Stay connected to the SMU family by attending upcoming events, searching for friends in the directory and posting a class note to share your good news.

Black Alumni Scholarship

Black Alumni of SMU launched an initiative to raise funds for the Black Alumni Scholarship in 2011. In the 2011-2012 school year, with the help of over 100 donors, Black Alumni of SMU provided a scholarship of over $7,000 to this year's recipient, Leah Johnson.

All money raised for the Black Alumni Scholarship goes directly to the current SMU students selected. To qualify to receive this scholarship, a student must meet the following criteria:

Be at least a rising undergraduate sophomore or a graduate student
Be a member of Association of Black Students
Earn a GPA of 3.000 or above
Demonstrate financial need
