Supporting Smith Students
By Paying it Forward
Albert P. Carey ’74, a long-time executive at PepsiCo, knew
he wanted to give back when he committed $1 million to
the Maryland Promise program. He currently supports 13
Smith School Maryland Promise scholars through the Albert
P. and Victoria V. Carey Maryland Promise Scholarship. The
scholarships are matched dollar-for-dollar by the A. James &
Alice B. Clark Foundation and the University of Maryland.
Carey himself came to the university on an athletic
scholarship. He knew that many students have the grit and
drive needed to succeed at Maryland, but lack the 昀椀nancial
means to attend.
“I feel grateful; therefore, I want to pay it back,” says Carey.
As part of the Maryland Promise Scholarship Program,
need-based scholarships are provided to high-performing
undergraduate freshmen and transfer students from the state
of Maryland and the District of Columbia.
“They come with a dream. I hope the university unlocks the
opportunity for them to achieve their dream, but really I hope
they exceed their dream,” says Carey. “And then when they’re
successful, I hope they come back and do something similar.”
I feel grateful;
therefore, I
want to pay
it back.
