Re: Award Acceptance Hesitation

Hi All, I just received a Smart Scholarship award offer and at first I was really excited and happy for this new opportunity. Now I am unsure and scared of the future that seems to be all laid out before me. I am a sophomore studying CS and my SF is in a different state. I would have to move there ...

Re: Uploading Reference Letters

Pretty sure they need that request email for the link to submit their letter. Ask them if they have received it. If they have not received it, you might need to contact whoever handles the applications and see if they'll help you out. You really shouldn't submit your application until all the requir...

Re: Sponsoring Facilities

I did not get contacted by any of the SF's I chose on my application, but instead I was contacted by three other SF's so I am not convinced that it is necessary. However, I would suggest at least taking some time to research some SF's in regions where you might be interested to live. Maybe you'll fi...

Re: notification of internship

I reached out to my SF and we set up the dates so I could secure my housing.

As for the second part, a quick email to SMART would give you the answer.

It is definitely cumulative. I asked that question during the onboarding call and he confirmed it is cumulative.

Huntsville Internship Summer 2019

Anyone else doing an internship in Huntsville Alabama summer 2019? I am looking into housing for the summer and I came across some good deals on Airbnb and Homeaway if anyone wants to room together and save some dough. I realize it's a little early but it never hurts to be prepared.

Re: Living Stipend

Is the living stipend just for things like rent, utilities, and groceries or is part of it put up for tuition and other education related expenses? In other words, how do I figure out what I'll be given each month so I can pay my rent? You should receive your stipend totaling to 25k, 32k, or 38k an...

Re: Picked by multiple SFs

Since it seems to be a very rare occurrence but still happens, and this is an honest guess, maybe they only ask if two facilities rank you at the same spot. Cause that would explain the rarity and why if one ranks you higher then SMART will just pick that one but if there is a “tie” then they ask t...

Re: Picked by multiple SFs

Update: I spoke with one SF about this, and she said she only knew of one case where the person was asked to pick their SF. I just received a call from SMART today where they asked me to choose my top SF. So there are some cases where they would ask, and some where they wouldn't.

Re: Picked by multiple SFs

From what I understand (I could be wrong, of course) if you are picked by multiple facilities LMI will chose which facility gets you and the other facilities will get their back up candidates. I have no idea how LMI will handle it, but I was in this situation when ASEE was still running SMART. Esse...

Picked by multiple SFs

If we are picked by more than one SF, will we have the option to choose which one we want? I have heard that it depends on the facility with the most pull, but I have also heard that we would get to choose. I have had interviews for four different positions, and a couple of them seem very promising.
