The SMART Program was launched in 2012 thanks to generous gifts from two Berkeley alumni. Today, 50% of program funding continues to be provided by donor gifts. Gifts to the SMART program are more than matched by University contributions. Each team’s sponsorship provides stipends of up to $5,000 to graduate mentors and $3,500 to undergraduate mentees. Up to $1,000 may also be made available to SMART mentors for travel or research expenses that cannot be covered elsewhere.
