What is the DoD Information Assurance Scholarship Program?
The DoD Information Scholarship Program provides scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in Information Assurance disciplines at a limited number of schools designated by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security as National Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAE/IAEs). Eligible students may be engaged in studies leading to a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree, or a graduate (post-baccalaureate) certificate. In order to establish a scholarship program, the CAE/IAE must submit a successful grant proposal. Students who receive scholarships are required to serve in internships as Student Career Experience Program Student Trainees with DoD during breaks in the school year. Accepting a scholarship carries with it an obligation to work for DoD as a civilian employee, or to complete a service obligation with the armed forces or the National Guard or Reserves after completing your course of study.
