We want to make you aware of a tremendous scholarship-for-service opportunity for your student members to fully fund their undergraduate or graduate education at your institution, and request that you make them aware of this opportunity. The SMART (Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation) Program will pay for all educational expenses for a B.S., M.S. or Ph.D. program, and then provide scholars unique opportunities to work as research scientists or engineers on cutting edge technology in world class DoD facilities.  A comprehensive list of facilities can be found on the SMART website:  http://www.asee.org/SMART

This is a highly competitive, national program, open to U.S. citizens only, that requires a minimum of a 3.0/4.0 GPA, so please ask your best students to apply.  The SMART program will pay all educational costs and a stipend while they are in school from as little as one (1) term up to 5 years.
