Defense Civilian Training Corps Recruiting

Defense Civilian Training Corps Recruiting

We are getting ready to recruit our next group of Defense Civilian Training Corps scholars. Our next cohort will have 35 students and we are looking for approximately half of them to be selected out of the College of Engineering. We are looking for U.S. citizens with a cumulative 3.0 or higher GPA and who will graduate May of 2026. 

Some basic elements of the program are: a scholarship covering tuition and fees, a $2,000 per month stipend, a DoD Internship (selected by our program), a Security clearance before graduation, and assistance with DoD job placement. There will be a 1-for-1 scholarship payback requiring at least 2 years work in a DoD organization.
