Share Your Story with Future Students

Alumni can be the most compelling voices for prospective families – sport your SMCM logo apparel with pride; tell your story to friends, community members, social groups, and professional circles; and encourage talented young men and women to consider St. Mary’s College of Maryland.

Launch-a-Leader Alumni Referral Program – Each year, alumni have the opportunity to refer up to three talented students to the Office of Admission at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. Once referred, the student will receive a $50 application fee waiver.

Seahawk Teachers – receive a packet of Admissions materials to share with your high-achieving students, including this 18″ x 24″ aerial poster of campus for you to display in your classroom or office!

Make your Annual Gift

Participate in Giving Tuesday or give anytime between July 1 and June 30 to BeCounted this fiscal year.

The annual alumni giving percentage is often used to determine the College’s eligibility to receive certain grants and can affect national rankings, so gifts of any amount are welcome and encouraged. Your support also has a tremendous impact on scholarships, academic departments, and extracurricular programs.

Given the high demand for housing at Alumni Weekend, priority registration is given several days in advance to our annual donors of $100+ (July 1 – February 28) as a way of thanking them for their support of the College.

If you’re interested in other types of giving, such as named scholarships or bequest commitments, contact the Office of Advancement at advancementoffice@smcm.edu.
