The Michael Daniel Smith and Alexander Tyler Smith Scholarship is awarded annually to one undergraduate or graduate student who shows outstanding promise as a helping professional for children and families. The award totals $3,000 and must be applied directly to the selected student’s tuition. The recipient of the Michael Daniel Smith and Alexander Tyler Smith Scholarship is chosen by a Selection Committee comprised of no less than three members from the Institute for Families in Society.
