<p>The Stride program at Smith provides a wonderful opportunity, especially in the sciences. My d as a first year student had lab experiences far beyond what a first year student could expect. Thanks to the assistance of her mentor, she presented a poster at an international conference in Barcelona last summer. Her work as a sophmore has paved the way for a great paid internship in San Francisco this summer. </p>
<p>A Stride scholarship allows a student to develop exceptional credentials for medical or graduate school.</p>
