Undergraduate Training Assistance Program
The Undergraduate Training Assistance Program (also known as the STOKES
Educational Scholarship Program) was introduced in legislation in 1986. The
program is designed to facilitate the recruitment of a small number of
high-achieving, mature and committed secondary school seniors and /or college
freshman and sophomores interested in a career in public service. These
students will be offered tuition assistance to accredited colleges or
universities, provided challenging summer work, and guaranteed a position in
their field of study upon graduation in this highly competitive program.
Minorities, women, and the disabled needing financial assistance to complete
their undergraduate education are strongly encouraged to apply. Students will
attend classes full-time during the academic year, and work at a DIA location
during the summer in positions related to their course of study. While in
school, students must maintain an overall cumulative grade point average (GPA)
of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (or its equivalent) for each semester/quarter thereafter.
Students accepted for this program receive:
- Tuition and mandatory fees (limited to $18,000 per year) toward a four-year
degree program at an accredited college or university selected by the student
and endorsed by the Agency
- Reimbursement for books and needed supplies
- An annual salary (paid bi-weekly) to cover college room and board expenses
and other personal expenses
- Full-time employment in a job related to their academic major during the
summer vacation while in college
- Full benefits including health insurance, life insurance and retirement
- Guaranteed position at DIA after graduation appropriate to their skills and
abilities
