2018 SMART Awardees

[SMARTGuy]

The official announcement should go out sometime this week. I had an ‘in person’ interview with an SF and they told me that their decisions were due by March 12. Last year’s awardees were released on April 12. Please post in this thread as soon as you hear from the SMART office. Good luck to everyone!

I was told last week from LMI that SMART decisions would go out "mid-April". Did your SF say when decisions were to be sent out? The lab I interviewed with did not interview me until 21 March.

The SFs have no control over the final decision at this point. They don't know anything about announcement. It's all up to the SMART program now.

Correct. I just was not sure if the lab you interviewed with, had any idea from LMI when decisions would be sent out. My understanding is that they send in there ranking of you relative to the particular lab. Then, based on DoD needs and openings you get ranked out of the larger pool of applicants that made the semi-final list. So if you were ranked 1 at that lab but that lab was 10th relative to needs/ openings you would fall accordingly.

Well, last year's initial awards were not announced until May 9th (which was a Tuesday @ ~ 3pm PDT). However, we received a notice that decisions would be delayed until May on April 6th (Thursday @ ~8am PDT). The thing to keep in mind is that was ASEE, not LMI. Things may be very different this year.

I got my undergraduate smart award in 2016 and was notified on April 7th for that. I applied for a follow-on award this year for my masters degree. Usually, when I log into the smart scholarship website it brings me to my profile but as of last night it just brings me to a page to put in a username, current password, and new password. New scholars are given a temporary password with the award email so I think the awards should come out this week since this page is all that pops up now! fingers crossed for everyone!

This wait is so exhausting! I had a great interview and I may still not get the scholarship.

I can guarantee you that you've been awarded the scholarship. That's how they set up the new system for new awardees. Congrats! I've tried the SMART link but it doesn't work. What link do you use?

[Guest]

I found this. I tried logging in but it didn't work.

Does it say password/ username not found?

Oh man, you just made my day! I'm still knocking on wood till the e-mail but very good to know! I used: https://smartscholarshipprod.service-no ... gin_cpw.do

if you google 'smart scholarship' it should be the second link!

yes, mine says current password incorrect. I tried using the password I use on my undergraduate scholarship and it doesn't work. when the award emails go out they should give you a temporary password which would be the correct "current password" then they have the new password section so you can change it to something that you make up

Mine says username or password invalid. I hope this is not bad news.

[newGuest]

Mine has said invalid username/password since they changed the site from ASEE to LMI. I’m a first-time applicant.

[ClinicalNeuroPRISM]

Same here, but then again I can’t 100% recall my username :( darn.

[Guest]

I also get username or password invalid if I click on the first link. If I click on the second link in this forum, I get the set new password with current user listed as guest. Is that showing for you guys?

Maybe someone should email LMI and see if they get a response. I emailed them last Tuesday and they said mid-April. I know they are so much better on top of things than ASEE was. I am getting super antsy knowing if I will receive the SMART fellowship.

I got the login error with the username, turned out it was case sensitive. I tried again and it recognized my email as my username, but I can't remember my password. It said it sent me an email with instructions for a password reset, but I haven't received anything yet.
(First time applicant)

[GooglyHeim]

I'm a first time applicant.

I used the first link, and clicked forgot password and used my email as my username. I few minutes later I got an email saying I awarded the scholarship and a link to my award information.

Not sure if these things were connected, but they came in within a minute of each other. So maybe its a really weird coincidence or maybe I forced the award email to get sent to me....I don't know.

[Guestchris]

I JUST GOT THE AWARD NOTIFICATION!!!

[guestt]

I too got an award notification!

[Guestchris]

I JUST GOT THE AWARD NOTIFICATION!!!

From TARDEC in Warren michigan if anyone is curious

Congratulations! You are being offered a scholarship award under the Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation Scholarship-for-Service Program as described in the attached SMART Service Agreement.

[bennyandboo]

I got it too! For those of you who say "Forgot Password" you can find out if you received the award or not!

[ClinicalNeuroPRISM]

That is awesome!!! Congratulations!! I’m going to have a heart attack while I wait to receive the email. I’m guessing maybe I didn’t get it and that is why I have not received any notification.
