Presidential Management Fellowship (PMF) Program
Provides Master's Degree level graduates with an appointment in the Federal
service. Administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM),
successful candidates receive an excepted service appointment with OPM,
which then matches them with agencies who have been given a PMF authorization.
PMFs are hired at the GS-9 level, and have promotion potential to GS-11 after
the first year. http://www.pmf.opm.gov/
The National Security Education Program (NSEP) (David L. Boren Undergraduate Scholarships)
The NSEP provides U.S. undergraduates with the resources and encouragement they
need to acquire skills and experience in countries and areas of the world
critical to the future security of our nation. NSEP is especially designed
to support students who will make a commitment to Federal service. Recipients
of NSEP scholarships and fellowships incur an obligation to work either
for an office or agency of the Federal Government involved in national
security affairs (broadly defined) or in higher education. http://www.iie.org/programs/nsep/undergraduate/default.htm
The National Flagship Language Initiative (NFLI) at the National Security Education Program (NSEP)
The NFLI represents the nation’s first major partnership between the Federal government
and higher institutions of education to implement a national system of programs designed
to produce advanced language proficiency in languages critical to the
nation’s security. Working in partnership with the National Foreign Language
Center at the University of Maryland, NSEP has established national flagship
programs across the U.S. These Flagship Programs, coupled with directed
and targeted fellowships for individual students, have produced graduates,
many of whom will be candidates for employment with agencies and offices
of the Federal government, across a broad range of disciplines with advanced
levels of proficiency in languages critical to national security. http://www.iie.org/programs/nsep/undergraduate/Flagship.htm
