DoD SMART Scholarship

Does anyone have any thoughts on the potential risks or benefits of the SMART Scholarship?

I just graduated highschool, and will be starting college as a potential comp sci major. However, I’m very concerned with the service/repayment commitment since I’m so young and not yet set on comp Sci since I haven’t even taken STEM classes in college yet…

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Not sure what potential risk you might be worried about. I think the SMART scholarship is a good program. What exactly are your concerns?

What happens if you change major or drop out? I couldn’t find anything in the FAQs.

Im pretty sure if you drop out you would have to pay back the scholarship and stipend. Not sure about changing majors.
