I write to make you aware of a tremendous scholarship-for-service
opportunity for U.S. undergraduate and graduate students and to
request that you encourage your best students to apply to the SMART
Scholarship Program. This is a highly-selective, prestigious,
national program that fully supports their education, including full
tuition, a very generous stipend, book allowance, and Summer
internship, while they are in school, and then provides guaranteed
employment with the Defense Department upon
graduation. <br>
<br>
The Science, Mathematics, And Research for Transformation (SMART)
scholarship-for-service Program fully funds undergraduate and graduate
degrees in a wide range of technical areas, including all fields of
engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Brain and Cognitive
Sciences, and Mathematics. <br>
<br>
A SMART brochure and a poster are attached and the application web
page is at <a
href="http://www.asee.org/SMART">www.asee.org/SMART</a>. The
application deadline is December 1, 2011 for the 2012 school year.
SMART provides:<br>
<br>
· Full Tuition – to any
accredited U.S. University<br>
· A very generous stipend
while in school <br>
- $25,000 for
undergraduates<br>
- $33,000 for masters
candidates<br>
- $36,300 to $41,800
for doctoral candidates<br>
· Book allowance –
$1,000<br>
· Health
Insurance <br>
· Paid Summer
internships<br>
· All required student
fees<br>
· Travel for
internships <br>
<br>
Summer internships at Labs are required. In return for fully
funding their education, students are required work as a civilian
employee at a Service (Army, Navy, Air Force) or DoD Agency (NSA, DIA,
DARPA, etc.) laboratory, or other research and development activity
for a period equal to the time the program paid for their school.
Students must be U.S. Citizens, able to obtain a DoD Security
Clearance, and be willing to work as a civilian in the DoD upon
graduation. <br>
<br>
There will be approximately 300 new awards this year. A list of
SMART awards from previous years is listed by University at: <a
href="http://smart.asee.org/schools/scholar_directory">
http://smart.asee.org/schools/scholar_directory</a> <br>
<br>
While MIT is one of the top schools in terms of the number of SMART
recipients, I think we can greatly increase the number of your
students supported in this program. I would appreciate your help
in disseminating this information to your students, faculty,
undergraduate advisors, and graduate coordinators, and by encouraging
your best students to apply for this tremendous opportunity.<br>
<br>
Please direct your interested students to: <a

links to the application portal and other program related

questions at the university/ college/department level, please feel
free to contact me. <br>

Respectfully,<br>
<br>
