Capitol College is offering students the opportunity to apply to the Information Assurance Scholarship Program (IASP) sponsored by the Department of Defense (DoD). An undetermined number of scholarships will be awarded nationwide for the 2007-08 academic year. Awards will include tuition plus a $15,000 stipend for graduate students or a $10,000 stipend for undergraduate students.

Information Assurance Scholarships at Capitol College are limited to qualified students who are enrolled in, or have applied to, an applicable degree program. Part-time students, certificate candidates, and employees of DoD and its agencies are not eligible.

Capitol College will evaluate and rank IASP applications and forward them to the DoD with a recommended action. Students cannot apply directly to DoD. Scholarship awards will be announced in July 2007.

Recipients must agree to work for the DoD or one of its agencies after graduation, for a length of time corresponding to their scholarship, and they must be eligible to apply for a security clearance. U.S. citizenship is required. For a complete description of IASP requirements and procedures, see http://www.defenselink.mil/nii/iasp/schoolsMain.htm.

Questions about Capitol College’s IASP application process should be directed to Ken Crockett. Capitol College’s deadline for receipt of IASP applications is January 31, 2007.
