INVEST IN SMITH
Receiving this scholarship
gives me confidence that I can
contribute to the world around
me—I feel immense amounts of
gratitude. You have no idea the
impact that you are making on
all of us as individuals. —S.B.
I believe the passionate alumni who offer their
support are a prime example of the culture and
sense of community that comes from the Smith
School. This scholarship is motivation to achieve
outstanding things to prove to myself and those
who support me that I belong at the Robert H.
Smith School of Business. —L.V.
SCHOLARSHIPS
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Over the past 25 years, Smith has awarded millions of dollars
in scholarships—about $10 million a year for the past five years
alone—to its deserving students. Smith students shared their
thoughts about the impacts of their scholarships.
I value how the community here provides
me with the resources I need to learn
and grow. Because of the support from
donors, other Smith students and I are
able to continue our education at UMD
knowing the Smith family is always
rooting for us to succeed. —V.L.
It is a blessing to have this financial assistance, and I
intend to provide similar help to other students one day
when I am in a position to do so. I promise I will apply
myself diligently as a Smith student and justify the faith
that went into selecting me for this scholarship. —M.J.

I am forever grateful as you
have affected not only my life
and those of my family, but
the millions of lives I plan on
changing as I go on with my
career as both scholar and
future CEO. Thank you for
believing in me. —S.D.
It motivates me to make the most of my time at
college. I hope to one day find myself in a position
where I can help fund the next generation of
businesspeople as they pursue their goals, the
same as you have done for us. —X.K.
I can’t even begin to
describe how much this
will help me. I want to
let you know that I will
make the most of this
opportunity and pursue my
career with courage. —K.L.
