The Unofficial SMART Scholarship Forum

A lot of the changes made in the handbook look very similar to the questions asked on this forum. Any one else have any thoughts on this?

I changed my degree type, sent in a request to SMART who then passed that to my SF. SMART told me the SF is the one who approves the request. If you have approval of your SF POC then you should be ok. Thanks for the info. I was under the impression that I would have to apply during the normal appli...

Here is a link to the form if you need it.

Okay now I'm confused. I thought the summer internships would start this summer for people that receive the award this April/May. But your questions makes it seem like it would start next summer (i.e summer 2019 if you receive the award in April/May 2018). If you get awarded April/May 2018, you won...

Hey, So I made it to the semifinalist round and I am now realizing that I might actually be in some trouble. I'm currently waiting on a security clearance for a non-DoD internship in D.C. and I've been told that if my clearance doesn't come through for this Summer than they will want me to instead ...

What happens if you don’t get a 3.0 GPA one semester? Thanks. "SSPPs enter the first funding year with a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. If grades for the degree funded by SMART fall below a cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale between application and the start of the fall term of the initial fu...

I have the one from ASEE. It wont let me upload a pdf. PM me and I will try to figure out how to send it.

My stipend is pending in my bank.

Can you send me that info, too?

I got CERDEC too. Are you a new, current, or past recipient? I'm going for the site visit soon.

I'm under the "Onboarding Process" tab that appears after completing the quiz. I'm clicking the "view" button next to service agreement. The current document option is under "Manage Award Documents", which is not what I am dealing with. My service agreement is in the system because I can download i...

I am trying to verify my awardee information, but when I try to view the service agreement, it tries to download an unknown file type... When I view the other files, it downloads the PDFs that I uploaded... Anyone else have this problem? Are you sure you are clicking where it says "Service Agreemen...

I just emailed SMART about this. They typically respond really fast so I'll update you all on Monday. I emailed them Wednesday evening and still have not heard anything back. Although this was the first time that I have used the email address "smartparticipant@asee.org". I found this email somewher...

If you work any days in august you don't get the scholarship for that month. Just a heads up from what they told me Oh wow, really? Even just a couple of days that are a few weeks before school even starts? Well like I said, I will definitely put SMART first but I don't really see how those couple ...

Do any past recipients have any advice/information about what the site visit entail. I was curious about what to expect. I am not close enough to my SF to go by any other mode of transportation than by plane which is pricey. Not only that, the closest airport to their town is over an hour away and ...

Congrats second round awardees!!! Congratulations! On behalf of the Department of Defense we are pleased to inform you that you have been awarded a scholarship under the Science, Mathematics, And Research for Transformation (SMART) Defense Education Program.

Reach out to the SMART office. You should have received notification from them already because that's where my notification came from and they stated they had already reached out to the selectees. Unless there are two {insert very uncommon name here}'s who applied for SMART and I reached out to the...

Heard from SMART, specifically asked about my SF sent me an congradulations email. As per usual very vague. I assume we will have another round soon though! "Thank you for your email.  As the email indicated we will be making additional rounds of award announcement it will be an email from ASEE. Pl...

Hi! I haven't heard from SMART about an offer, but the man who interviewed me just sent a congratulations email about getting the scholarship! I'm not sure if it was in error or if I'm just in the next round of awards. (currently getting a temp closed message). Is anyone else in the same boat?? Tha...

I sent an email asking for clarification for this, but I'm thinking it is just going to be a generic response that doesn't really answer the question. I will update with the response when I get it (probably tomorrow). I sent an email asking if that meant the first round of offers had went out alrea...
