The Science, Mathematics, And Research For Transformation (SMART) Defense Scholarship Program was tested as a program in 2005 under the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. SMART was fully established by the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2006, and was assigned to the Navy Postgraduate School (NPS) as the managing agency in late 2005-early 2006. The SMART scholarship program is a Department of Defense (DoD) workforce development program created to address the growing gap between America and the rest of the world in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. SMART facilitates this goal by recruiting and retaining some of the best and brightest STEM candidates in the nation. SMART is a DoD civilian scholarship-for-service program which is a part of the National Defense Education Program (NDEP). Like other NDEP programs, SMART is funded through the Office of the Secretary of Defense. == Requirements == The program is open to current and prospective students, including current DoD employees who meet the following requirements: * U.S. citizen * Minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale * Pursuing a degree in one of the STEM disciplines * Willing to participate in summer internships * Willing to accept post-graduation employment within the DoD * Able to attain a SECRET clearance ''While these are the minimum requirements, the average GPA is well over 3.0, with the current 2009 cohort year averaging 3.73 on a 4.0 scale.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Science, Mathematics, And Research For Transformation (SMART) Defense Scholarship Program」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
