Background
President Barack Obama (D) issued Executive Order 13750, titled "Providing for the Appointment of Alumni of the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program, and the Critical Language Scholarship Program to the Competitive Service," on November 29, 2016. The executive order established non-competitive eligibility for certain alumni of the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program, and the Critical Language Scholarship Program.[1]
Non-Competitive Eligibility hiring status
Non-Competitive Eligibility (NCE) is a hiring status for employees within the federal government. NCE is given to Fulbright U.S. Student Program alumni who completed the Fulbright Program after November 2015. NCE allows the U.S. federal government to hire eligible alumni outside the formal job announcement process. The NCE process also allows Fulbright alumni to compete for jobs that are only open to current federal employees. Advertising the position, interviewing candidates, and following common hiring procedures are not required for an agency to hire an applicant for NCE status.[2]
