  1. In order to receive financial assistance (a scholarship) or appointment under the Information Assurance Scholarship Program, you must be enrolled (or accepted for enrollment) at one of the institutions of higher education designated by the National Security Agency (NSA) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as National Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education or National Centers of Academic Excellence – Research, hereinafter referred to as CAE, or enrolled (or accepted for enrollment) in an institution selected by a CAE as a collaborating partner in the Information Assurance Scholarship Program.

  2. In order to receive financial assistance (a scholarship) or appointment under the IASP, the CAE at which you are enrolled (or accepted for enrollment) must submit a successful grant proposal to the DoD to establish the IA scholarship program on their campus.

  3. In order to receive financial assistance (a scholarship) or appointment under the IASP, you must be enrolled (or accepted for enrollment) in a full-time program1 leading to an undergraduate or master’s degree, a graduate certificate or doctoral degree, and pursuing a course of study and/or have a declared major in one of the scientific, technical or managerial disciplines related to computer and network security, with a concentration in an information assurance function. (In accordance with 5 CFR 213.3202(b)(2), an individual who needs to complete less than the equivalent of half an academic course load in the class enrollment period immediately prior to graduating is still considered a student for purposes of this program.)

    1. For these purposes, the scientific, technical and managerial disciplines related to computer and network security are:

      1. Biometrics

      2. Business Management or Administration

      3. Computer Crime Investigations

      4. Computer and Computer Information Science

      5. Computer Engineering

      6. Computer Programming

      7. Computer Systems Analysis

      8. Cyber Operations

      9. Database Administration

      10. Data Management

      11. Digital and Multimedia Forensics

      12. Electrical Engineering

      13. Electronics Engineering

      2. Computer Information Systems

      3. Critical Information Infrastructure Assurance

      4. Cryptography

      5. Information Assurance Systems and Product Acquisition

  4. If you are an undergraduate student, you must maintain an overall 3.2 out of a 4.0 grade point average (or an analogous rank based on a comparable scale) in order to receive financial assistance (a scholarship) under the IASP. If you are a graduate student, you must maintain an overall 3.5 out of a 4.0 (or an analogous rank based on a comparable scale) in order to receive financial assistance (a scholarship). Failure to maintain these minimum grade point averages constitutes grounds for immediate termination of financial assistance and your appointment under the IASP. Additionally, if you fail to complete the degree program satisfactorily or to fulfill the service commitment upon graduation, you shall be required to reimburse the United States, in whole or in part, the cost of the financial (scholarship) assistance provided.

  5. Except for small achievement awards (not to exceed $3,000 in any academic year), you may not accept simultaneous remuneration from another scholarship or fellowship while receiving financial assistance under the IASP. If you are in a graduate program, you may receive a reasonable amount of remuneration for teaching or similar activities as are, in the institution’s opinion, contributory to your academic progress. Except where state or local law, court or proper administrative order declares otherwise, the DoD shall assume that the development of students, not service to the academic institution, will govern the assignment of these activities.

  6. In order to receive financial assistance (a scholarship) under the IASP, you must agree to accept a federal appointment under the authority to employ individuals completing Department of Defense Scholarship or Fellowship Program, or another hiring authority. You may be appointed under this program as a GS-5, GS-7, GS-9, or GS-11 based on your qualifications, and the needs and conditions of the appointing defense component. During your period of service under this appointment, if timing permits, you must accept and perform intern assignments designed to enhance your academic studies in information security. These assignments will be scheduled at times mutually agreeable to you, your school, and the DoD component that appoints you

  7. In order to receive financial assistance (a scholarship) under the IASP, you must agree to work for the DoD, after the award of your degree, as a civilian* employee for one calendar year for each academic year, or partial year, for which financial assistance (scholarship) is received. *See paragraph 8 for terms of military service, should you desire this option. This requirement is called “obligated service”. The work you may perform during an internship DOES NOT COUNT toward satisfaction of your obligated service requirement.

  8. Should you desire to enlist or accept a commission to serve on active duty in one of the Military Services2, you must incur a service obligation of a minimum of 4 years on active duty in that Service upon graduation. The Military Services may establish a service obligation longer than 4 years, depending on the occupational specialty and type of enlistment or commissioning program selected.. “If you are interested in military service as a means to meeting your obligated service requirements, please indicate this in Section 10 of this application.

  9. In order to receive financial assistance (a scholarship) or appointment under the IASP, you must agree to be mobile. Upon appointment, you will be required to sign an agreement to accept assignments that involve travel or changes in duty stations, assignments in different organizations, assignments in different functional areas, and assignments in different geographic areas, during your internship, if applicable, AND during your incumbency of any permanent, full-time position to which you are converted on program completion. Your travel under this agreement, and the travel of all DoD civilian employees, is governed by the Federal Travel Regulations and the DoD Joint Travel Regulations. These regulations provide for travel benefits, and pay or reimbursement of your travel expenses, on an incidental, case-by-case basis; it is not possible to specify your exact entitlement to travel benefits at this time.

  10. The DoD does not guarantee that your preferences for agency assignment (or location) under the IASP, or in a permanent position to which you are subsequently converted, can be honored. Your preferences will be taken into account, along with all other relevant factors such as: mission, functional, and staffing requirements; the exigencies of service; the availability of funds; and, any hardships you may demonstrate. Nonetheless, your agency preferences are important to the department. Therefore, you may specify up to three agency preferences below, if you wish. You are not required to complete these preference selections. You may specify city and state of preference, if known as well. For information on DoD Agencies, you may view the following web site which contains the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Defense Agencies and DoD Field Activities, Organization and Functions Guidebook:

http://odam.defense.gov/omp/Functions/Organizational_Portfolios/Organization_and_Functions_Guidebook.html

  1. In order to receive financial assistance (a scholarship) under the IASP, you must agree to reimburse the United States should you voluntarily terminate your employment with the DoD before the end of your period of obligated service. (See also item 7 above.) Should you terminate your appointment under the IASP, decline or refuse to honor your commitment to accept permanent employment, or, voluntarily terminate permanent employment before you have fulfilled your period of obligated service, you must reimburse the United States, in whole or in part, the cost of the financial (scholarship) assistance provided to you. An obligation to reimburse under this condition of employment is for all purposes considered to be a debt owed to the United States.

  2. In order to receive financial assistance (a scholarship) or an appointment under the IASP, you must agree to sign certain forms authorizing a background investigation to permit the appointing agency to make a determination as to your suitability for federal employment.

  3. You will be required to obtain and maintain eligibility for a security clearance in order to receive financial (scholarship) assistance or an appointment under the IASP. You may be required to undergo certain tests, including drug and polygraph tests, to obtain and maintain a clearance. Before you may be awarded a scholarship or hired by DoD , you will be required to complete certain forms to initiate the security clearance process. Some of these forms will require that you reveal extensive information about your background, such as potentially sensitive information about your financial circumstances and any arrests and/or convictions for offenses of any kind. You must agree to all of these conditions of employment and you must complete these forms as a condition of financial assistance and appointment.

  1. Current web pages from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Defense Security Service (DSS) are provided below. These are provided for your review and consideration in determining whether you will be eligible for a security clearance. They may not be all inclusive, however, it is highly recommended that you review and understand the requirements prior to signing up to participate in the DoD IASP.


By signing this OF612 Supplemental Statement of General Academic and Employment Conditions, I acknowledge that I have read, understand, and agree to all of its conditions, to include the Security Clearance Requirements:
