Hobart and William Smith Colleges have a history of support from parents of our students and we are especially grateful for their support. For more than 50 years, parents have made contributions to the Colleges and today there are many loyal parents of graduates who have supported education at the Colleges for several decades.

The Parents Fund is a compilation of unrestricted gifts made by parents to The Fund for Hobart and William Smith, and in support of endowment and capital expenditures. This support helps Hobart and William Smith provide our students with state-of-the-art scientific equipment, access to communication technologies, scholarly print and electronic library resources, and more. The Colleges also remain committed to other costly programs including summer research and internship opportunities, and maintaining an unusually small faculty/student ratio.

The Parents Fund is composed of gifts made by parents of current students and graduate parents. Gifts are made between July 1 and June 30, and the goal this year is $450,000. Every gift makes a difference and we hope you will join our community of Parents Fund supporters by making a contribution today.
