I was funded by SMART for 3 years, and had my first year's debt repaid by a SLRP, relocation pay, and got a 25% salary sign on bonus. All for only a 1 year commitment, which was worked off concurrently to SMART, so it was effectively 'free'. From what I'v heard, I was one of the last people to receive it. Now my SF takes the stance that SMART itself is enough of a hiring incentive and offers no relocation, SLRP, or sign on bonus anymore. Also, not all SMART scholars were hired in the same hiring system, and I was one of the better off SMART students in terms of what all I got.
