Supplementary Requirements Effective March 2002, the University at Buffalo (UB) has been
designated as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance
Education (CAEIAE) by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS). Following this recognition, UB won several
grants to support full scholarships for graduate students seeking degrees and
graduate certificates in information assurance and cyber security
disciplines. The goal of this Information Assurance Scholarship Program
is to support the development of information assurance and cyber security
specialists within the Department of Defense (DoD). This opportunity is
available to all citizens of United States. Based on our success in 2002-12, we are now soliciting
applications from qualified students at the graduate level for academic year
2018-19. The qualifications and the steps to be taken to complete your
application are described below. The Scholarship, which pays for the full
cost of tuition, select fees and
books,
carries an additional stipend of $30,000 for graduate students.
Scholarship recipients will be required to participate in internships
arranged by appointing DoD components during the years they are
receiving scholarship support. On successful
completion of both academic degree and internship requirements,
the Student Trainees will be converted to permanent, full-time
status as federal employees. Note the following with
respect to this scholarship announcement. 2. Students who receive scholarships will be required to sign
a written agreement obligating them to work for the Department of Defense, as
a civilian employee, for one calendar year for each year, or partial year,
for which scholarship assistance is received. Scholarship recipients will
also be required to serve in internship positions with DoD organizations
during the time they are receiving scholarship support until they complete
the course of study provided for by the scholarship. Internships, for both
scholarship recipients and non-scholarship recipients, will be arranged by
DoD to occur during the summer or during breaks between school terms as
appropriate to the individual's circumstances, the institution's calendar, and
the structure of the employing component's student intern program.
Internships will not count toward satisfying the period of obligated service
incurred by accepting the Information Assurance scholarship. ·
