Scholarship Opportunities College undergraduate and
graduate students selected to be Pat Roberts Intelligence Scholars
could receive as much as $50,000 in scholarship money. Roberts, a
Republican, represents Kansas in the Senate. The ROTC-style
program is the brainchild of Felix Moos, a Kansas University
professor of anthropology, and is part of an effort to attract
qualified candidates to the field of intelligence gathering,
especially in targeted areas of the world, including Afghanistan,
China, Korea and the Middle East. The program was suggested by Moos
to Roberts, who shepherded the measure through Congress, which
approved $4 million for the pilot project. After earning their
degrees, recipients are committed to working for the CIA for 18
months for each year of scholarship they receive. Candidates for the
scholarships may attend any institution and must be full-time
students, U.S. citizens, and pass the same security background
checks given to other CIA employees. They also must possess advanced
expertise in certain regions, languages or other disciplines. (DKR)
