Student Obligation Maintain 3.0/3.5 GPA (undergraduate/graduate) Students selected to participate in CyberCorps SFS will be obligated to work for a federal, state, or local agency for one calendar year for a period equal to the length of scholarship Students will also be required to serve in internship positions, during the time they are receiving scholarship support until they complete the course of study provided for by the scholarship. These internships will be arranged by the AU and Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The internship does not count toward satisfying the period of obligated service incurred by accepting the Cybersecurity scholarship. Students will participate in SFS conferences, workshops, and seminars. Failure to satisfy academic or service requirements of the program will result in forfeiture of the scholarship award, which will revert to a student loan
