2013 Cyber Corps Scholarships
Iowa State University has requested a renewal for funding from the National Science Foundation Scholarships for Service program to support students working in Information Assurance. We will be accepting 10 applications for 2013.
Program participants will take courses in information assurance as part of their regular degree requirements. In addition, all scholarship recipients will become part of an SFS cohort group and participate in academic (including taking 4 leadership courses (one per semester)), and social activities throughout the year. The scholarship also requires a service commitment consisting of a paid summer internship and two years of paid employment at a federal agency.
Graduate applicants should possess (or be receiving) an undergraduate degree in a relevant field, with a GPA of at least 3.2. The fellowship includes all tuition and educational fees, as well as a $25,000 annual stipend.
The application deadline for Fall 2013 is March 29, 2013 .
