CIA Undergraduate Scholarship Program

Details

The Undergraduate Scholar Program is a financial need based scholarship program that offers students unmatched experience in a diverse and inclusive environment. You’ll complete work sessions during each summer break, increasing your knowledge and job responsibilities while assisting intelligence professionals and applying your academic skills.

CIA believes in challenging scholars with meaningful work that relates to their college major. An IT major, for example, might be given increasingly complex projects involving sophisticated computer systems. An engineering major might help produce a piece of state-of-the-art equipment. A finance major could be involved in developing and analyzing budgets for a worldwide operation. A foreign language major might be instrumental in translating documents for US policymakers. As a final example, a human resource major could have the opportunity to develop and implement personnel policies and procedures.

Because the Scholar Program is an investment in you, accepting an offer means making a career choice. CIA asks that you agree to continue employment with the Agency after college graduation for a period equal to 1.5 times the length of the college sponsorship.
