SMU invests significantly in cutting-edge research, research funded fellowships for graduate students, and a strong professional network and graduate school community. The University's eighth degree-granting school — the Moody School for Graduate and Advanced Studies is made possible by a $100 million commitment from the Moody Foundation (the largest gift in SMU history).
The formation of the Moody School will elevate SMU's reputation and degree value among top research-driven universities. Access our guide to discover how this major gift will attract renowned scholars, with the establishment of new research initiatives and increased grants for doctoral students.
This considerable gift will dramatically increase fellowships for graduate students and support a new full-time position — the Director of Graduate Fellowships and Awards who will help graduate students as they navigate their funding options.
