Could you share your stats and SF?

Current undergraduate senior in Physics, 4.00 GPA.

Award is for MS in Electrical Engineering.

SF is Kirtland AFB in New Mexico.

Pleased to say that I was notified this morning that I have received an award!

Same. Nothing yet. I've reached out to a couple facilities and people last week with an updated resume just to let them know I am in the application pool and to request any info they might have about working as a SMART scholar with them.

Are sponsoring facilities supposed to be in the email signature? I’m a Semifinalist as well, and the only account in the signature to my email was smart@sma...

I was pleased to see that I was selected:)

Currently undergraduate senior in physics applying for electrical engineering graduate programs.

Did anyone hear anything today?

They said “early February”. I’ve heard that it’s usually the first Monday in February. We’ll probably know by next Monday.
