SMART Scholarship-for-Service Program Celebrates 20 Years of Building the DoW STEM Workforce with Largest Cohort to Date

Twenty years ago, the Department of War (DoW) launched the Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation (SMART) Scholarship-for-Service Program with a bold vision: a transformational civilian STEM workforce, driven by purpose and united by mission, to advance national security. This year, as SMART celebrates its 20th anniversary, that vision is embodied by its largest cohort of 650 scholars from across the country who have chosen not only careers in STEM but a calling to serve the nation.
