On behalf of the entire Smith Renaissance Society, we would like to convey a heartfelt THANK YOU!! Because of your generosity, we are now able to fully fund three academic scholarships in perpetuity. We could not have done this without your support.
We want you to know that from this day forward you have an open invitation to be a part of our community. We are grateful for your treasure, but your time and talent is invaluable. Thank you again for all that you’ve done. If you would like to know more about becoming a mentor or volunteer, please contact us at smithsoc@ucsc.edu.
Together, in 28 short days we have managed to secure almost all of our $37,500 in matching funds! We are only $695 away from securing 3 scholarships in perpetuity. Together we will change the lives of three students every single year as this community continues to grow. If you know anyone else who would be able to contribute to the project, please share so we can support as many students as possible! Thank you! #ucscsmithsoc
I am overwhelmed with gratitude as I witness the generosity being offered to our Smith community here today. It is remarkable to consider that only half way into our campaign we have funded 222% of our initial goal. I would like to thank each and every one of you for your support. It is only because of your willingness to give to others that our community continues to thrive. Thank you so much.

Thanks to everyone's support, we have been able to establish one scholarship per academic year FOREVER! We couldn't have achieved this without you. How many more can we secure in the next 16 days? We can't wait to find out!
It is almost the end of week one and we have raised $5,222 so far - wow! Thank you to everyone who has made a gift or shared the project. Thanks to you, we are making amazing progress towards our goal and even got the attention of the press this weekend. Check out the Santa Cruz Sentinel news article about our project here. Thanks again and keep sharing!
Your support really makes a difference.
Allow one of our students the opportunity to show their gratitude by providing you with a personal account of how your support has impacted them directly.
We are so grateful for your support! Let us tell you about it! One of our students would love to give you a call and tell you how much your supports means to them.
Our community loves coming together to eat and take a break from our studies. Join us for one of our special community events.
To really see the impact your support makes, visit with a small group of our students on campus, lunch is on us!
