Question about Smith college STRIDE - Please help?

<p>Smith college isn't very clear on its stride program. All it says on the website is this:" The STRIDE program offers students with outstanding academic and personal qualifications a close working relationship with a faculty member during their first two years at Smith College. This scholarship of $15,000 per year for four years is awarded to approximately 50 students per year. In addition to the scholarship, students are also given an annual stipend of $2100 per year for two years that is linked to research with faculty members. (First-year students)"</p>

<p>My question is: do you have to apply to get it or is everyone automatically considered?</p>

<p>STRIDE doesn’t have a separate application - you are considered when you apply to Smith.</p>

<p>Thank you very much!</p>
