The Unofficial SMART Scholarship Forum

also me: *frantically continues to apply and try to get in just so I can have my college paid for bc I'm broke lol*

Same hahahahaha

To be fair, if you just follow through on your commitment and don't screw up school, the only real issue is getting a bad a SF. Late stipends always get paid, schools always clear up past due tuition, etc. It's really people trying to not be normal causing issues.

Spoken like the typical ignorant jackass who defends this program blindly without knowing (or just ignoring) the gory details of many participants experience with this program.

~10% of participants wind up owing debt with this program one way or another.

If you want to call that a success for a program that has essentially unlimited authority to accommodate whatever weird circumstances a participant could run into then there is no helping you.

I wouldn't even join this program with the administration that is in power now. They care more about being woke then the defense of this nation.
