Actual selection for promotion is recommended by the supervisor and will largely depend on the quality of your past performance and potential to take on higher level work. With the appropriate experience or education, you can compete for higher level jobs in any field where you meet the qualifications required. Internships are for two years. To be eligible for the Presidential Management Intern Program, you must be nominated by your graduate school and pass a highly competitive selection process administered by the U. S. Office of Personnel Management. PMI finalists may apply directly to NSF, as well as other Federal agencies, for selection consideration.
Eligibility is based strictly on academic achievement at the bachelor's degree level.
If you are a college graduate with a grade point average of 3.5 or above, on a 4.0 scale, for all undergraduate coursework, or have graduated in the upper 10 percent of your class, we encourage you to apply for consideration under the Outstanding Scholars Program. The Foundation is committed to providing equal opportunity for employment to all individuals. In addition to regular competitive appointing procedures, special appointing authorities are available to aid in the employment of individuals who have severe physical impairments, mental and emotional disabilities. Our Selective Placement Program Coordinator will work closely with supervisors and vocational rehabilitation counselors to match your skills and qualifications with available job openings. Upon selection, NSF will make reasonable accommodations in the duties of the job or in the worksite to make it easier for you to perform the responsibilities of your position.
