What types of federal positions are scholarship recipients required to accept?
NSEP does not have the authority to require an individual to accept any position. Nevertheless, scholarship recipients are expected to accept paid positions commensurate with the level of education and experience they possess. A scholarship recipient may choose to satisfy the service requirement by accepting a suitable paid or unpaid full-time, part-time, temporary, or internship position. Employment in the federal government prior to receipt of a scholarship does not count toward fulfilling the service requirement.
