Switching field of study

Post by maxwellUT »

Hi everyone,

When I applied for the SMART scholarship I put down that I was going to study physics in grad school. Well, I got accepted to a few physics programs and a nuclear engineering program. If I am awarded the scholarship (hopefully), would I be able to use it to fund my studies in nuc eng instead of physics? Or would I have to go into physics to receive the award?

Thanks in advance.

If you change your degree, your facility will have to approve it first. SMART will also have to re-issue the award, but this isn't too much of a problem if the facility approves.
