Hi,
I have a quick question regarding the award details: is the $25,000/year stipend given in addition to covering the cost of tuition, or does this stipend count toward the tuition coverage offered by the SMART Program?
Thank you for your help!

Re: Stipend vs. Tuition?
You get a stipend and full tuition, plus a few thousand for healthcare and misc. educational expenses! :)
The only real downside is that it takes a long time for the government to hire you, generally about 4 months post graduation. Also, most smart scholars get stuck doing mostly paperwork and its incredibly boring compared to defense contracting.
Otherwise its a sweet gig and congratulations!
