Individuals applying to the program should have a strong interest in working for the DoD as a civilian research scientist or engineer.
SMART scholarship awards include:
- Annual stipend ranging from $22,000-$39,000 depending on prior educational experience
- Full tuition and related educational fees at any regionally accredited U.S. college or university
- Health Insurance
- $1,000 per year book allowance
