    • The DoD Information Assurance Scholarship Program (IASP)

      The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) mission to address our Nation’s urgent security challenges is: Assure the Department's information, information systems and information infrastructure and support the Department's transformation to network and data-centric operations and warfare. Achieving information assurance (IA), however, requires more than possessing leading-edge technologies and superior operational capabilities. It requires well-educated, highly skilled personnel in a variety of IA-related disciplines. Finding and properly training an adequate number of such personnel is one of the most important challenges the DoD faces as we look to the future.

      To continue to provide the growing number of trained personnel needed, the DoD is working with universities across the country, known as National Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance (CAEs), to develop and expand IA-related curricula and to offer programs of study for future IA professionals. As a powerful incentive for students to enter the IA field, the DoD is offers the Information Assurance Scholarship Program.

        • What is IASP?

          The Information Assurance Scholarship Program (IASP) is designed to recruit the nation’s top IA talent to the DoD workforce to secure our nation against the threats to its information systems and networks.

        • Who are the recruitment students?

          Recruitment students are individuals not currently employed by the DoD or the federal government and who are enrolled in or applying to universities designated as CAEs. Scholarships for recruitment students are provided for Bachelor’s (Junior and Senior year only), Master’s, and Doctoral degrees in IA-related disciplines.

        • What are the benefits of the IASP for recruitment students?

           

          • Academic scholarships covering full tuition, fees, and books
          • Stipends for students
          • Paid Internships in IA roles at the DoD
          • Travel expenses for IA conferences and other learning and networking opportunities
          • An IA job within the DoD following graduation (pending clearance)

            Prior to graduation, students complete an internship (approximately 10-14 weeks). Upon graduation, students move into their full-time positions within the DoD. Students are required to work in the DoD a minimum of one year for each year of scholarship support they received under the IASP.

        • How can I apply for the IASP?
