Scholar Perspectives
“The ability to collaborate with other students within the DCTC program has allowed me to meet new people and gain new perspectives on the functions of the United States government. I believe that our contributions as a cohort will leave an impact on our country, as the DCTC program provides us the opportunity to dedicate our work toward being a good public servant.”

"I want to work within the government and support the warfighter. The scholarship and stipend were a huge bonus and an important part of my decision to pursue the DCTC program. This program helps students obtain a security clearance and exposes them to the various opportunities that the DOD has to offer.“
