SMART Scholarship Application- Follow Up Requested

Post by Guest »

Hey I just got an email that says they will call me requesting follow up information on my application today or tomorrow. Anyone else get this? Is it normal?

They may be asking you to re-rank your SF preferences (if more than one facility recommended you). I did not receive the email.

Sounds like this (something I found on here):

March 15 - March 28
Evaluation Level 4
The SMART Program Office reviews application materials from and conducts phone interviews with, all candidates recommended for review by DoD agencies.
As a result of information obtained during the phone interview and application review, some candidates may be disqualified from award consideration...approximately 2/3 of all recommended candidates were offered awards.

I hope this is what it is, thanks for sharing that seems likely!
