* You must be majoring in a homeland security science, technology, engineering or mathematics (HS-STEM) field which is a STEM field with coursework and/or research relevant to a homeland security research area. See DHS Research Areas and a list of relevant fields of study.
* If you have been attending college full-time, you must be in your second or third year of college attendance as of the application deadline. NOTE: Students in their third year of undergraduate study will only be eligible if they are in an accredited five-year academic program that will be completed no earlier than the fall 2011 academic term and no later than the spring 2012 academic term. These third year students must submit proof that their program is five years in duration by the application deadline. Submit documentation to dhsed@orau.org by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time on January 5, 2010 with subject line: Verification of Five-Year Program for 3rd Year Applicants.

* You must be enrolled as a full-time student at an accredited college or university located in the United States or its territories during your appointment.

* If you are currently enrolled at a 2-year institution and you are awarded a scholarship, before you can accept the scholarship, you must be accepted at a 4-year institution that has agreed to accept your first two years of study as transfer credit.
* Because this scholarship has a required internship during the summer following the first year of support, students who plan to graduate in less than three semesters or four quarters once funding begins are not eligible.
* No deferrals of a DHS award, the internship component, or the service requirement will be allowed.
* Students in a 4-year joint baccalaureate-master’s degree program should apply in their second year of college attendance.
* Students in a 5-year joint baccalaureate-master’s degree program should apply in their second year or third year of college attendance.
