Needs and Uses: DoD Cyber Scholarship Program (DoD CySP),
authorized by section 2200 of title 10 of the United States Code, is
designed to: increase the number of new entrants to DoD who possess key
Cyber 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.
The retention track is for current DoD employees attending college
courses through the DoD CySP while still performing their mission
duties. 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, (referred to
herein as NCAE-Cs) who respond to one of the two scholarship tracks:
for such purposes as developing cyber curricula and faculty, building
cyber laboratories, and outreach to minority institutions. The National
Security Agency (NSA) is the Executive Administrator of the program,
serving on behalf of the DoD CIO. NCAE-Cs interested in applying for
grants (scholarship and/or capacity-building) must complete and submit
a written technical and financial proposal, as well as forms required
by federal grant policy (forms are identified in the grant solicitation
and can be downloaded at <a href="http://www.grants.gov">www.grants.gov</a>). DoD requires this information
collection (proposals and grant execution accomplishments) 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 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).
