Welcome
The Simmons Memorial Foundation, Inc. (SMF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides high quality educational support programs for students who are members of vulnerable groups. Too many talented students from vulnerable backgrounds fail to attend college, are grossly underrepresented at selective colleges, or have limited success rates at four-year institutions. Even more tragic is that these students’ capacities remain underestimated, unnoticed, or underdeveloped. SMF seeks to empower vulnerable students to achieve a quality higher education so that they can effectively participate in improving their local and world communities. read more
