The Unofficial SMART Scholarship Forum

Besides the payment for the site visit, when is funding distributed for the 2017-2018 school year?

Should be August 1st 2017.

It's the 3rd week of every month

huh??

Stipend payments are made the third Friday of every month. Health insurance and supplies allowances are paid with the August stipend, as a separate deposit, but usually at the same time.

The actual funding for the school year is paid directly to your school after they invoice SMART. In a few weeks SMART will give us a letter to pass on to the school that instructs them to bill SMART. At my school they wait to bill SMART until after the add drop date for classes. I actually get invoices from the school before this, but was instructed to ignore them because ultimately they will bill SMART and SMART will pay it.

So if our scholarship starts for fall 2017 (August) when is our first payment? August or September?

Unless we are told there is a delay by SMART (unlikely), that is when I would expect it.
