FAQs

Is the SSCF a full-time program?
Yes. Applicants selected for SSCF will be enrolled in the program on a full-time basis for 10 months. Participants will be on a special assignment and will not continue in day-to-day activities associated with their normal positions. The Fellowship will take place at each site’s respective location with several events requiring travel.

Will I go back to my original job after I’ve completed the SSCF program?
The intent of the program is to develop future defense acquisition leaders. The DACM has directed that all Army personnel attending DAU-SSCF should be assigned to broadening positions, ideally of greater responsibility, upon completion of the program.

Will I have to PCS to a new assignment after the program?
No. The intent is to provide career opportunities in your local area, but you might want to consider other sites that have career opportunities.
