The National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant (SMART)
The SMART Grant provides funding for students in their third and fourth years of undergraduate study. The grant is available for students who are enrolled at least half time, are U.S. citizens (or eligible noncitizens), and eligible for the Federal Pell Grant. Students must be enrolled in programs in physical, life or computer sciences, mathematics, technology, engineering or in a foreign language determined critical to national security (as defined by the Secretary of Education). Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. SMART will no longer be available to students beginning with the 2011-12 Award Year as funding for this program has been discontinued.
