Can members of the Reserves and National Guard apply?
Members of the Reserves and National Guard are eligible to apply for SMART. In the event that you are called to active duty, you will be granted a deferment of the scholarship. Upon your release from active duty, you will be reinstated in the Program so long as Congressional funding is available at that time.
