SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: DoD Cyber Scholarship
Program; OMB Control Number 0704-0486.
Needs and Uses: DoD Cyber Scholarship Program (CySP), authorized by
10 U.S.C. 2200 is designed to: Increase the number of new entrants to
DoD who possess key Information Assurance (IA) and Information
Technology (IT) skill sets; and serve as a tool to develop and retain
well-educated military and civilian personnel who support the
Department's critical IT management and infrastructure protection
functions. The DoD CySP recruitment track is for college students who,
upon completion of the program, will work for the DoD. Pending
availability of funds, the DoD CySP may also award capacity-building
grants to colleges and universities designated as National Centers of
Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity, (NCAE-Cs) for such purposes as
developing cyber curricula and faculty, and building cyber
laboratories. The recruitment track and institutional capacity-building
grant programs both require a competitive application process.
Recruitment scholarship applicants submit written documentation
detailing their credentials. NCAE-Cs interested in applying for
capacity-building grants must complete and submit a written proposal,
and all NCAE-Cs receiving grants must provide documentation detailing
the use of grant funding and the outcomes of the capacity-building
initiative. DoD requires this information collection to measure the
performance of the capacity-building components of the DoD CySP. DoD
uses the information collected in the scholarship application process
to assess the quality of applicants selected for inclusion in the DoD
CySP. Without this written documentation detailing scholarship
applicants' credentials, grant proposals, and grant execution
accomplishments, the DoD has no means of judging the quality of
applicants to the program or collecting information regarding program
performance.
Affected Public: Individuals or households (Student Applicants);
Not-for-profit Institutions; State, Local or Tribal Government;
Businesses or other for-profit (Academic Institutions).
Annual Burden Hours: 5,810.
Number of Respondents: 690.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 690.
Average Burden per Response: 8.42 hours.
Frequency: On Occasion.
Dated: July 14, 2021.
