The Stokes Program is open to high school seniors, particularly
minority students, who are planning to major in computer
science, computer/electrical engineering, or Chinese or Russian
languages. You’ll attend college full-time, then work during
summer breaks at NSA’s main headquarters in Fort Meade,
Maryland. You’ll acquire real-world experience and receive
a salary year-round. Stokes participants must work at NSA
for at least 1.5 times the length of study upon graduation.
A GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale is preferred. Please see
