EARLY DEADLINES FOR NEW DHS FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS

Applicants for the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) new undergraduate
scholarship and graduate fellowship programs must send the department a
written notification of their intention to apply by Wednesday, April 30,
2003.  Applications and transcripts must be postmarked by Monday, May 19,
and references sent by Tuesday, May 27.  More information on the programs is
available at:  http://www.orau.gov/dhsed/ <http://www.orau.gov/dhsed/> .

This first DHS competition for scholarships and fellowships is for study
beginning fall 2003 in areas of study deemed relevant to the department's
mission such as:  "physical, biological, social, and behavioral sciences,
engineering, mathematics, and computer science."  DHS materials describe the
awards as providing "competitive stipends and tuition allowances." When the
program is fully operational, it is expected to support up to 100 new
students each year at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.
