About the Donor

Launched in January 2019, the SMU Alumni Community Fund is an alumni-led fundraising campaign to create opportunities for alumni to come together as a collective network to support the University’s vision, foster greater bonds amongst fellow alumni and support the less privileged student community.  This initiative is an on-going effort to seek alumni’s support to provide 25 bursaries for financially-challenged undergraduates, 20 community service projects by alumni and students, and enhance the mentoring programme to benefit over 5,000 students and alumni.
