Information Assurance Scholarship Program
As a designated Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education institution, the iSchool can nominate students for a Department of Defense (DoD) Information Assurance Scholarship. These students must be accepted to or are already enrolled in qualifying degree programs (the Executive Master of Science in Information Management or the Professional Doctorate).
Recipients of these 1, 2, or 3-year IASP scholarships must also earn the iSchool’s Certificate of Advanced Study in Information Security Management and will receive $10,000 to $15,000 in stipends, full tuition, and allowances each year for books and computers.
Recipients will have information security internship opportunities with DoD agencies and in return for scholarship funding will begin full-time employment with the DoD on program completion for a period commensurate with the years of scholarship funding received. Alternately, scholarship recipients may elect to serve a period of obligated service as a member of the National Guard or the Reserves of any military branch.
