Science, Mathematics and Research for Transformation (SMART)

SMART is a DoD-sponsored competitive scholarship program that supports students who wish to obtain a degree in science, math or engineering. Each SMART fellow will receive a salary/stipend based upon the student's academic status, full tuition, and payment for required fees. Students may be appointed as DoD term employees during the tenure of the scholarship/fellowship. The scholarship is valid throughout the duration of each student's course of study. Upon acceptance of the award, each awardee signs a DoD civilian service agreement for employment with the DoD civilian science and technology workforce upon completion of his or her fellowship. Term of post-degree employment with a DoD lab is commensurate with fellowship length.

Applications are accepted in February. Awards notification is announced annually each spring. Scholarship award winners will have 3 weeks to accept or reject the offer after the official notification.

All awardees must be a U.S. citizen, 18 years of age or older, able to participate in summer internships at DoD laboratories, willing to accept post-graduate employment with the DoD, a student in good standing with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (at all schools attended), and pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in one of the fields listed on the website.
