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 University of Arizona 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 href="http://www.asee.org/SMART">www.asee.org/SMART</a><<a href="http://www.asee.org/SMART">http://www.asee.org/SMART</a>>.
