Publication Date: September 24, 2007 DCL ID: GEN-07-06 Award Year: 2007-2008 SUBJECT: National SMART Grant - Revised List of Eligible Majors
for Academic Year 2007-2008 Posted on 09-24-2007 Dear Colleague: In Dear Colleague Letter GEN-06-15,
the Department of Education provided the list of eligible academic majors
under the National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant
(National SMART Grant) Program for the 2006-2007 award year. In Dear Colleague
Letter GEN-07-02
we announced that it was our intention not to change the list of eligible
majors for the 2007-2008 award year. However, as the new Assistant Secretary
for Postsecondary Education, I felt it prudent that the Department review
that list , taking into account comments and inquiries that we have received
over the last year, and to provide an updated list that includes several
additional eligible academic majors. Please note that we have not removed
any eligible majors. Attached to this letter are two listings. One is
a list of the new eligible majors and the other is the complete list of
2007-2008 eligible majors. We apologize for the timing of this notification, as we know that the
academic year is beginning and you may have already completed many of your
financial aid packages. However, institutions must provide National SMART
Grants to all potentially eligible students, including those in the additional
majors, for the 2007-2008 award year. We thank you in advance for your assistance
in awarding National SMART grants to eligible students. Attachments/Enclosures: New Eligible Majors for 2007-2008 National SMART Grant Awards in PDF Format 10KB, 1 page |
