| The Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation (SMART) Scholarship-for-Service Program is now accepting applications. SMART offers a unique opportunity for students of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to advance their education and jump-start their careers.
More than a scholarship, SMART scholars receive full tuition, annual stipends, internships, mentorship, and opportunities for research funding. After graduation, they begin their civilian careers with the Department of Defense, working as non-military government employees, solving complex national security challenges in their respective fields.
SMART scholars, whether pursuing a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree, or working as a DoD civilian, are part of a dynamic community of driven individuals advancing research and innovation in SMART STEM disciplines. Through mentorship, training, and innovation award opportunities, SMART helps scholars build the foundations to excel in STEM and contribute to a highly skilled DoD STEM workforce dedicated to enhancing the nation’s security and technological edge.
High school seniors and current undergraduate and graduate students who meet the eligibility criteria are encouraged to apply.
