Information Assurance Scholarship Program

卡耐基梅隆大学的领导层非常支持这一计划，并坚信SFS使他们能够为确保联邦政府信息基础设施的安全做出重大贡献。大学希望保持学生人数尽可能接近目前的水平，并分担该计划的成本，以实现这一目标。大学每年为每位学生提供25%的学费，在资助期间，费用分摊总额约为850,000美元，使每位学生的提案成本约为74,000美元，而最初的资助约为87,000美元。奖学金颁发给获得两个硕士学位的学生，即信息安全技术与管理硕士和信息安全政策与管理硕士。这两个项目的课程已经根据国家安全局的国家信息安全培训和教育计划的信息保障课件评估过程进行了认证，并已根据NSTISSI No. 4011 -国家信息系统安全（Infosec）专业人员培训标准进行了映射。

Carnegie Mellon leadership is extremely supportive of this program and believes strongly that SFS enables them to make a substantial contribution to the effort to secure the Federal Government's information infrastructure. The University desires to keep the number of students as close to current levels as possible, and is sharing the costs of the program to achieve that goal. The University contributes 25% of tuition costs per student, per year, a cost sharing that totals some $850,000 over the life of the grant and makes the cost per student proposal approximately $74,000, vs. approximately $87,000 in the original grant. SFS scholarships are awarded to students in either of two masters' degrees, the MS in Information Security Technology and Management, and the MS in Information Security Policy and Management. The curriculum for both programs have been certified pursuant to the Information Assurance Courseware Evaluation Process of the National Security Agency's National Infosec Training and Education Program, and have been mapped against NSTISSI No. 4011 - National Training Standard for Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) Professionals.
