Late to the ball here (just found the forum), but I am a BS CS major and got assigned to Hanscom AFB working in acquisitions.

Also, I am still reading those essays. I wil give feedback soon!
Okay, good to know. And no worries, take your time. Thanks !!

Care to share the phone number you used to contact LMI? I was trying to contact them this morning, but I was at work and didn't have time to search for the number
I called the Army Service Liaison (Jack Meyer) who reached out to me with the reminder email, your's might be different but it should be in the reminder email. The SMART programs official phone number is (571) 633-7940. Also worth emailing smartscholar@lmi.org if you need to communicate with the SMART team (not sure if this is the same as smart@lmi.org). I can PM with Jack Meyer's number if needed.

I got an email today saying that I need to accept my award and submit paperwork by the 23rd.

However, I have yet to hear from my sponsoring facility or from the scholarship program besides this. I checked my inboxes, no award notification/rejection letter.

My login info worked for resetting my password on the scholarship portal, but there wasn't anything there for me to really interact with aside from downloading a few forms. Forms that I can't fill out b/c as of yet I don't actually know who is sponsoring me.

So... yay? I think that means I got it but I don't really know what to do from here. Any advice beyond following up with the program?

Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, what is your major. I'm heading into my first year of my Aerospace PhD and MSIC was one of my top choices. Unfortunately I didn't get the award.
Hi AeroGuest- thank you! I'm an EE major, and I also put down MSIC as my top choice. During my phone interview I believe they said they were mainly searching for EE majors this year (but I'm sure that varies year to year), and that they usually select Masters and PhD students. Best of luck to you in the second round of awards.

Hi Guys!

I found out I was awarded the scholarship. At the time I applied, I requested funding for a PhD since my university was going to admit me into the MS/PhD Program once I graduate with my bachelors this May and enter in the second half of the BS/MS. I applied for funding for the full PhD duration but would like to scale it back to just the MS for the time being and apply for a follow on award if set on a PhD. Is this something possible without sacrificing the award? I noticed you can request a change to your award duration but I am not sure if that if for after you accept the award.

Thanks!

I received an offer from MSIC as an Aerospace Master's student. Though I didn't get matched with them because they put in a list of multiple names and another SF put me down as their only choice. I was paired with the SF that only "wanted" one specific student. Whether it is a good match or not doesn't seem to matter.

Hey all. Sorry I just quickly read through these.. busy day at work. Anyway I got my letter last night which was nice to see this morning. Tried logging on the website and logged in just fine.. But nothing is appearing. None of the info I should be seeing in the profile to show where I'm going or anything like that is appearing. Not that big of a deal as I was informed last week I was getting it, but I would also prefer to see the stuff on the website. Anyone else having this issue? I'm sure it's because the site is still under development (I hope). Just curious. Thanks and congrats all!

I got it! AFTAC at Patrick AF in Florida! I only just found the email because it redirected into my junk mail folder. For those interested, BS in Chemistry.
