I just finished the software engineering course at the University of Maryland online. A little after my first year into the program, I got an email out of the blue from the NSA. The email said that because of my GPA and the school I was attending, I qualified for a full-ride scholarship plus $15k a year stipend for my undergrad + grad school.<p>The only think was, I'd have to let the NSA dictate what classes I took, every summer belonged to them, and I'd owe the NSA 1 year of work for every year that I took the scholarship.<p>I ran away.

Is this some kind of onion-esque joke?<p>I don't even know how to respond to this... some sort of personal stack overflow.<p>The more I think about it, the worse it gets.
