Basically, get a degree in a related field (international politics, security, languages, demographics, economics, etc), and have decent marks. Apply. Don't tell anyone (until they have briefed you on what you can say). Don't have any skeletons in your closet.
It's basically like getting a USAID job, but probably not as competitive (lots of funding = lots of positions, and most people doing these kinds of degrees tend to not be very pro-defence) and with slightly higher security requirements.
