What is the National SMART Grant?
The National Science & Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant, also known as the National SMART Grant, is available during the third and fourth years of undergraduate study to full-time students who receive the Pell grant and who are majoring in biology, chemistry, natural science, mathematics, computer engineering technology, environmental engineering, digital simulation/design (engineering department), and plastics. Please contact the financial aid office to determine if you are in a National SMART eligible field of study. The student must also have maintained a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 in coursework required for the major. The National SMART Grant award is in addition to the student’s Pell Grant award.
