The Unofficial SMART Scholarship Forum

I haven't read every post so this may have been addressed somewhere. Are relocation expenses covered if you are selected for an internship at a facility on the other side of the country? Also, what about living arrangements for the summer? Do you have to find an apartment or are there apartments available for interns?

Officially relocation costs aren't guaranteed, but some facilities will cover them. I may very with facility, but I have to find my own accommodations for the summer. I plan to check long term rates at local hotels against rental rates, and buy a cheaper car for while I'm there and resell it before I leave.

If the facility is more than 50 miles away from your residence, then you will recieve a $1200/week stipend from SMART in addition to your monthly award stipend.
