What ends up happening if you can't get one?
Check the current handbook, I think it is in there. My copy of the handbook from a few years ago states it is your responsibility to be eligible for a clearance and that if you fail to get a clearance you are dismissed from the program.
It is not explicit if you would have to pay back the debt or not. I think it would depend on exactly why you couldn't get a clearance and when you reasonably should have known this would cause an issue, but ask SMART if you are concerned.
Also, this might have changed because this handbook is from before LMI made you get a clearance through your SF vs them. I doubt it changed much, since a clearance is a pretty standard requirement for working for the DoD.
