The DoD Science, Mathematics and Research for Transformation (SMART) Scholarship Program, is part of the National Defense Education Program. SMART is fully funded by the DoD and is designed to increase the number of new civilian science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) entrants to the DoD. Additionally, the SMART Program develops and retains current DoD civilian STEM employees that are critical to the national security functions of the Department of Defense and are needed in the Department of Defense workforce. SMART awards scholarships, ranging from 1.5 to 5 years, to undergraduate and graduate level students pursuing a degree in one of 21 technical disciplines. Upon graduation, scholars fulfill a service commitment with the DoD facility that nominated the scholar for an award (the sponsoring facility, or SF).

Cutting Redundancy
The number of respondents has decreased from 4,300 to 2,800. At the previous approval, the number of respondents was improperly estimated and did not reflect that respondents may complete some or all the forms.The time and cost burden have increased. The SMART program office has reevaluated the estimated time to complete the forms and estimated wages of respondents. Since the last OMB review in 2016, the estimated burden hours have increased from 30,200 to 129,225. The cost burden has increased from $218,950.00 to $$936,881.25.
