SMU UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS 2018
Even with bursaries and my
part-time jobs, I was unsure if I
would have enough money to
cover the cost of my university
education. Now with 100% of
my SMU tuition fees covered,
SMU Access allows me to put
more time into my studies and
pursue my interest in financial
risk analysis as a career.
