May an agency waive up to 320 hours for exceptional job performance and outstanding academic achievement for time a student spent on a non-Federal internship (i.e., worked in, but not for, a Federal agency)?
No. Agencies may consider only exceptional job performance and outstanding academic achievement that was demonstrated under a Student Educational Employment Program appointment (i.e., STEP or SCEP). See 5 CFR § 213.3202(b)(11)(iii)
