• have a high school diploma or equivalent,
• be departing the service with an “Honorable” discharge,
• be able to meet admission standards of the chosen institution of higher learning,
• be responsible for their own financial and logistical support, and
• provide any and all documentation needed by the Selection Committee and the participating academic institutions.

In addition, applicants are desired to have:

• recently completed their service, be still on active duty but separating soon, or serving in the National Guard or Reserve,
• good academic fundamentals in math and science or the desire to acquire them, and
• a “Secret” clearance or higher with a current security background investigation.

Applicants are selected by the STAR interview process. Additional consideration will be afforded wounded veterans, Purple Heart awardees, and significant award recipients.
