The Unofficial SMART Scholarship Forum

Actually I have done this and work for my SF during the school year. What they need to do is put you under a different contract. Since you are not a government employee you are a contractor under SMART there is no conflict of interest. I was given the ok from SMART to do this. The easiest way to do this would be to use an already existing contractor at your SF and give them money to hire you part time.

I am unsure if this is even legal, as you are not actually working [b]for[/b] the SF until after you graduate and you have signed the paperwork. At best, this sounds like a misunderstanding that you do not work for them until all the paperwork has been done through HR, etc; at worst this sounds like an attempt to get free labor.

Also, the stipend has nothing to do with an SF. The stipend is a DOD paid portion of the SMART scholarship for service program. It does not link you in any way, shape, or form to your SF.

Aren't they already paying you via the stipend?
