To celebrate the Class of 2010 and build a tradition of giving among our alumni, MIIS trustee Jed Smith has launched the Jed A. Smith/Class of 2010 Scholarship Fund. Jed has offered to match every gift of $25 or more with $100, up to $25,000. That’s a total of $125 – five times your original investment! Gifts from faculty and staff to the Class of 2010 Scholarship Fund are also eligible for the matching funds.
Response to the challenge has been encouraging; we’ve received 58 gifts totaling more than $8,000 with Jed’s match; 36 have been from staff and faculty members!
Thanks to all those who have already contributed—your participation makes a difference. The May 22nd deadline is fast approaching so please consider taking advantage of this opportunity to leverage your gift and support the MIIS community.

When can you give $25 and get $125! It seems like a no brainer to donate and help give more students scholarships so we can have as many students attend as possible. This is great – thanks IA!
