Cleared/Already in DoD/Cyber/Notified w/in 2 weeks

Post by CONTGal »

Hello All,

I am wondering if that fact that you have a clearance and already work in DoD increases your likelihood of being awarded the scholarship.

I am a current contractor pursuing a Masters from USC in Cyber Security (Viterbi School of Engineering Ranked #9).

I have also listed my current agency as one of the places I would like to work. Does this also help your chances?

Are there any other Cyber applicants?

*Side Noted* I emailed ASEE today and they said

"It is expected that all applicants will be notified via email within the next week or two whether or not they have been selected as semifinalists. Final awards are expected to be made by April 1st."
