SMP Program

[jlar316]

Hey guys. Well here we stand, the last scholarships are most likely going to be awarded this week! But its always great to have a back up plan right? So I've been exploring the SMP program. I've heard a lot about this program but I'd like to know more from the members here (opinions, reasons why etc..)

I did read up on it a little here --> http://www.nc.ngb.army.mil/index.php/careers/recruiting/smp-program-rotc/

But any other info like is it worth it? What benefits will I get besides just money? Thanks!

Clarksonarmy has an excellent blog, where he has written about SMP: http://goldenknightbattalion.wordpress.com/2011/01/12/smp-another-option/

Also, talk to the ROTC cadre at the schools where you are looking. Money may be tight in some states on the NG side of the house, while other states may have a stronger program.
