The SMART scholarship has an acceptance rate that has varied from under 5% to almost 20% over the last decade. 

The plan calls for increasing the number of available service opportunities to meet the demand to serve and to create a culture of service that will promote local and state level programs too. 

And as I said I applaud these innovations. Obviously the SMART Program is not designed for someone looking for a trade, but it appear Mayor Pete might be opening up such opportunities. Participation in these and other programs that help with the cost of tuition fits the bill of those looking for a hand instead of a hand out.
