An eligible student may receive a
National SMART Grant of up to $4,000 for each of the third and
fourth academic year of study. To be eligible for each academic
year, a student must:
-
be a U.S. citizen;
-
be a Federal
Pell Grant recipient;
-
be enrolled full-time in a degree program;
-
be enrolled in a four-year degree-granting
institution;
-
major in physical, life or computer science,
engineering, mathematics, technology, or a critical foreign
language (defined as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew/Semetic,
and Russian); and
-
have at least a cumulative 3.0 grade point
average on a 4.0 scale in the coursework required for the
student's major.
Under the National SMART Grant
Program, CUNY will identify Pell-eligible federal student aid
recipients who are majoring in physical, life or computer science,
engineering, mathematics, technology, or a critical foreign
language. Colleges will be able to tell you which of their academic
programs are designated by the Department of Education as eligible
for SMART Grants.
For the National SMART Grant
program, the amount of your grant, in combination with your Federal
Pell Grant, other resources and estimated financial assistance, may
not exceed your financial need (cost of attendance minus
EFC equals financial need). A student may not receive more than
one ACG or National SMART Grant award in each
academic year for which the student is eligible.
All annual award amounts for an
academic year may be reduced if sufficient funds are not available
for all eligible students nationally in an award year.
