SMART Scholarship-for-Service Program (U.S. Department of Defense) Bachelor’s Studentships

The SMART Scholarship-for-Service Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Defense, supports students pursuing education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. This archive gathers Scholarship Union coverage relevant to bachelor’s students, including program announcements, application guidance and funding information. Awards may provide education-related support such as tuition and a stipend, along with opportunities to gain experience through DoD internships. In return, recipients generally commit to work in a civilian role at a sponsoring DoD facility after graduation; applicants should review the official program terms for the applicable service obligation.

The program is intended for eligible students in designated STEM disciplines, and requirements can include citizenship, enrollment status, academic qualifications and other conditions. Available majors, award details, deadlines and participating facilities can change by application cycle.

This page focuses on bachelor’s-level opportunities and is useful for students comparing U.S. government STEM funding with other scholarships. International readers should check eligibility carefully, since the program’s rules may restrict who can apply.
