The Science, Mathematics and Research for Transformation (SMART) Scholarship for Service Program was established in 2006 as a scholarship for service program to enhance the Defense Department's workforce in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics skills and disciplines. This outcome evaluation is a follow-up to one conducted in 2015–2018, and is paired with a process evaluation. The SMART Program is designed to address a broad set of workforce needs, and these outcomes and benefits are distributed across facilities of the three service components and fourth estate agencies.
