The Unofficial SMART Scholarship Forum

[quote="Guest"]Okay thanks.

Not starting until August so working on the funding gap haha[/quote]


Email SMART and let them know that! I think I've seen them make an exception for peeps that aren't starting until august. (Unless it's personal choice then idk if they'd help)

Okay thanks.

Not starting until August so working on the funding gap haha

Your yearly salary is the given 25k, you are paid per month that you are a student. During your final year you aren't a student after May therefore you are not paid after May.

This shouldn't matter because you should be starting your full time job around June the year you graduate.

If you are getting this scholarship in August 2018 and you have two years of school that it'll covered you will be paid every month until May of 2020.

My interpretation was different. I completed three [i]years[/i] of school. My interpretation was that for each academic year of school completed the stipend would be 25k.

[quote="Guest"]Hi,

This doesn't add up.

We expect to receive 25k/yr in stipends.

Funding begins in August and if it ends in June then the awardee is missing out on $2083 July payment. This doesn't seem right. Can someone chime in?[/quote]

You are promised 25k for each year completed. However, you are not completing the year, thus you only receive compensation for the time completed. If you were hired somewhere and offered a salary of let's say 50k, but you leave after 6 months. Do you seriously expect the company to pay you the rest of your salary?

[quote="Guest"]For example, if you graduate in May, do you receive the stipend for that month? Thanks![/quote]

The last payment is paid the month after you graduate. So if you are graduating in May you will get paid in May and then again in June. The final payment in June is meant to help out in case employment at your SF is delayed.

Yes because you are still a student even if it’s for a day of that month. So the last payment would be the third week of May.

For example, if you graduate in May, do you receive the stipend for that month? Thanks!
