Affordability in Action

At Smith, your goals are our top priority. We’ve taken several steps to ensure cost is not a barrier to receiving a Smith education. Our financial aid packages include no loans (only grants), we’ve recently partnered with QuestBridge—a national nonprofit organization that connects high-achieving low-income students to financial aid and scholarships at highly selective colleges—and each student is guaranteed internship funding through our Praxis program.
