Here we present preliminary results from a search for low-mass pre-main-sequence stars in the SMC based on Hubble Space Telescope archival data. Candidates are selected on the basis of their H_alpha emission and location in the [(F675W-F814W), F814W] color-magnitude diagram. We discuss characteristics of our candidate T Tauri sample and possible follow up work.5 pages, presented at the IAOC Workshop on "Galactic Star Formation Across the Stellar Mass Spectrum" held in La Serena, Chile, March 2002; to be published in the ASP Conference Series, edited by J.
