NSA Hires High School Students for Work Study, Internships and Scholarship
- When saving your recording automatically, your Mac uses the name ”Screen Recording date at time.mov”. To cancel making a recording, press the Esc key before clicking to record. You can open screen recordings with QuickTime Player, iMovie, and other apps that can edit or view videos. Some apps might not let you record their windows.
- Back in 2010 the NSA published “Hardening Tips for Mac OS X 10.6 ‘Snow Leopard’” (PDF), a terse, two-page pamphlet recommending a series of security precautions. The agency hasn’t.

Even if you haven’t started college yet, it’s never too early to start thinking about the career you want – and getting paid experience in it.
The National Security Agency is seeking high school juniors who live within commuting distance of an NSA facility to join its High School Work Study Program. High school seniors are invited to apply for the Stokes Educational Scholarship Program or an internship in STEM or foreign language.
Alexis, who participated in the high school work study program from 2017-2018, says her experience was “mind blowing” and the best decision she ever made.
“It was an opportunity that truly changed my life and has me set up for an amazing future,” she says. “Now I am a 20-year-old college student getting everything paid for, while working full-time in a position I absolutely love in an agency that has benefits galore.”

High School juniors must apply by Oct. 31, to be considered for this part-time paid work opportunity at one of these locations: NSA headquarters in Maryland, Alaska, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Texas or Utah. You will work a minimum of 20 hours per week, during your senior year in one of these positions:
- Business
- Computers
At Fort Meade, students can also work in these fields:
- Engineering
- Manufacturing
- Construction
- Graphic Arts
- Chinese Language or Russian Language
You must have a minimum of two courses in your desired field of study and a minimum GPA of 2.5 (unweighted). Students must be 16 years old by Dec. 31 of their high school junior year.
Stokes Educational Scholarship Program
The Stokes Educational Scholarship Program is open now through Oct. 31 to high-performing high school seniors, particularly minorities, who plan to pursue degrees in Computer Science or Computer/Electrical Engineering.
You’ll receive up to $30K in tuition assistance and education fees per academic year while attending school full-time. Plus, you’ll earn a year-round salary.
Even better, once you graduate college, you'll have a job waiting for you at NSA. You'll be required to work at the agency for at least 1.5 times your length of study upon graduation.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, program requirements have changed. In lieu of SAT/ACT test scores and AP/IB exam scores, high school transcripts must show a minimum of one physics or calculus course, and a combination of two courses (minimum) of computer science, computer programming or engineering.

Gifted and Talented (G&T) Internship Programs
G&T STEM is open to high school seniors with at least an AP/IB Physics and AP/IB Calculus course, and either a computer science, computer programming or an engineering course by senior year.
New this year, the G&T Language Program is open to high school seniors who are taking AP language courses and are proficient in Chinese, Russian, Korean, Farsi or Arabic.
In either program, you’ll work full-time for 10-12 weeks during the summer following high school graduation. Students must be 16 years of age to begin the program and have at least one Physics or Calculus course and a combination of two courses in either Computer Science, Computer Programming or Engineering.

Besides gaining valuable paid work experience, participants in any of these programs can also take advantage of mentorship and training opportunities, and be considered to stay on at NSA once their assignment is over.
'It’s an amazing opportunity because after they’re done with the program, they’ll have a security clearance, and then they can convert to a full-time job or even a part-time job,” says Lora Hornage, Program Director at NSA.

Security in Mac OS X; the hierarchy you describe is fairly standard if the level
of security and kinds or types of user accounts are set up to accommodate it.
There are details in the downloadable security configuration guides from
Apple support to cover most Pro aspects of securing a computer including
user accounts and other means. All of the guides have helpful information.
• Mac OS X Security Configuration Guides:
http://www.apple.com/support/security/guides/
You can use Admin, Standard, and Lesser accounts in a Mac; you can set the
lesser accounts to even less access via the Parental Controls section. These
can be limited to almost no system access; or just a few apps and functions.
To have and use more than one Standard user account, and not have a computer
automatically boot into a higher access level account on start up are basic security;
so the Admin account is less used among the general user accounts, even the
Admin person should also have a Standard account for daily use with a different
password and other settings. Depending on how the machine is being used, several
different means of securing it can be employed. Some are just single-user methods
and others include levels and hierarchy among the users.
• Primary user security in Mac OS X:
http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.21/21.02/Security/index.html
• Basic Mac OS X Security:

• Securing OS X 10.4: Tips from Apple and the NSA - ZNet:
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/securing-os-x-104-tips-from-apple-and-the-nsa/4706
And, physical access to the computer can be used to circumvent security. If you
are uncertain that your users are trustworthy, be sure to at least lock the computer
so internal access is not possible. In some models, you can overcome certain means
of securing a Mac by changing the RAM configuration, and other things, physically.
A remote located computer, accessed only by keyboard, mouse, & display, would
limit someone overcoming security by opening the actual unit, for example.
Securing user accounts is nearly a topic onto itself; while the guides cover it, there
is plenty of reading and understanding to their methods. Other articles such as this
one where they probably have a book to sell, are OK for some basic consideration:
• User Accounts> Securing your Mac:
http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=420905&seqNum=3
A dedicated search to find more info on user settings and security could be a project
taking up some hours; the downloadable .pdf manuals cover several aspects in detail.
Those are first in my opinion, to get and read; Apple manuals on security, via download.
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
