As the end of the semester approaches, underclassman begin to switch gears. Instead of writing term papers, doing group projects, or studying for tests, students will begin to fill out scholarship applications, write essays, and get professor recommendations. For those students that are in the SRA major (or security-related majors), the US Intelligence Community and the US State Department offer a wide variety of all-inclusive scholarships depending on your class standing and skill sets. Along with paying your tuition bills, an IC scholarship will give you internships every summer and in most cases a top secret clearance. Upon graduation you will already have a job secured. If your interested in becoming an intelligence professional, going after a IC Scholarship is a smart move. Over the next several weeks, I will be researching different types of scholarship programs that the well-known alphabet soup agencies offer, and I’ll post what I find here.
