SMART Scholarships

This description is from an American Astronomical Society electronic announcement:

A tremendous scholarship-for-service opportunity is available to fully
fund students’ undergraduate or graduate education. The American
Society for Engineering Education’s SMART (Science, Mathematics, And
Research for Transformation) program will pay for all educational
expenses for a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. program, and then provide scholars
unique opportunities to work as research scientists or engineers in
world-class Department of Defense facilities. This is a highly
competitive national program, open to U.S. citizens only. The SMART
program will pay all educational costs and a stipend while recipients
are in school from as little as 1 term up to 5 years.

Specifically, the program pays for:
* Full tuition to any accredited U.S. university
* A very generous stipend while in school ranging from $25,000 to
$41,000 per year
* Book allowance of $1,000
* Health-insurance contribution
* Paid summer internships
* Travel fees for internships
* All required student fees

The application deadline is 1 December 2011. For more information,
