Army

Depending on your specialty, scholarships, financial aid and student-loan repayment programs are available to those interested in performing their chosen career full-time in the Army or part-time in the Army Reserve. The service commitment varies depending on the program and the amount of assistance received but can be as little as two years and seldom exceeds four years.

Because the filing periods and qualifications vary, those interested are encouraged to speak with an Army healthcare career counselor to determine if they are eligible and when their application period is. To find the station nearest you, search 6th Medical Recruiting Battalion station locations.

Science Mathematics and Research for Transformation (SMART)

The SMART Scholarship-for-Service Program was established as a concentrated effort to enhance the Department of Defense (DoD) workforce with talented, innovative and brilliant scientists, engineers and researchers. For over a decade, SMART Scholars have been working within labs and agencies of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Additional DoD to support the warfighter and create an impact to secure our nation.

SMART Scholars enter the program to pursue their education in some of the leading STEM fields currently in high demand by the United States Government. The program offers scholarships for bachelors, masters and PhD students pursuing STEM. While in school, students will receive full tuition, monthly stipends, health insurance and book allowances, as well as summer internships that range from 8 to 12 weeks. Upon degree completion, scholars begin working in a civilian position with their sponsoring facility. The internships and work experience allow scholars the opportunity to learn from the greatest minds in STEM and defense. Not only do scholars pursue their passions in their respective field during their educational phase, but they begin a journey towards an empowering career to protect national security.
