Make a difference THAT LASTS A LIFETIME.

The next caring nurse. The next knowledgeable auto mechanic. The next hard-working accountant. Their future starts with YOU.

Southwestern Michigan College provides the foundation for students to excel in their futures. Students not only have the opporutnity to complete a two-year associate degree which they can then transfer to a university or enter the job market immediately, they also have exceptional opportunities for out-of-class engagement.

Our school is a great place for those seeking to start their educational journey. Annual tuition at SMC is half the cost of most four-year universities while still providing the "total college life experience." 

Why do our students need your help?

• Half of SMC students are first-generation college students
• 60% of SMC students are financially needy based on federal guidelines

By donating to Southwestern Michigan College Foundation, you are not only providing students with outstanding college education but laying the ground work for a successful future. Their futures are the futures of our communities. Investing in the next generation of change makers, is investing in the future for all of us. 

Consider making a gift to lay the foundation for the futures of the next impact-makers in our communities on Giving Tuesday, November 28.
