Established through the Federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, the Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent (SMART) Grant Program allows up to $4000 for a student's third and fourth academic year of study. Renewal for a student's fourth year is based on the student's continued eligibility and assumed continued federal funding of the program. The student's GPA and major will be checked each term to ensure he/she continues to meet eligibility requirements.
A list of the eligible majors updated by the Department of Education on September 24, 2007 and effective for the 2007-2008 Academic year.
