A Scholarship Program for Security Assured Information Systems Track

该项目的目标是在匹兹堡大学现有的SFS计划中增加三个新的队列。奖学金获得者必须完成信息科学或电信和网络硕士学位，并选择安全保障信息系统（SAIS）轨道。博士在任何一个程序与信息保证浓度的学生被允许寻求支持的最后两年的研究。奖学金学生受益于多学科的教育环境和强大的IA课程，这是全国少数几个已经通过国家系统安全委员会（CNSS）制定的所有五个国家IA教育标准认证的国家之一。奖学金学生在大学期间提供适当的指导支持。该奖学金方案通过与少数族裔中学后教育机构的联系，特别强调在IA地区招收代表性不足的群体，这些机构包括波多黎各大学、Mayaguez大学（该大学是课程编制工作的合作伙伴）和林肯大学。

The objective of this project is to add three new cohorts to the existing SFS program at the University of Pittsburgh. The scholarship recipients are required to complete a master's degree in Information Science or Telecommunication and Networking with the Security Assured Information Systems (SAIS) track option. Ph.D. students in either program with an Information Assurance concentration are allowed to seek support for the last two years of their studies. The scholarship students benefit from a multidisciplinary educational environment and a strong IA curriculum, which is among the few in the nation that have been certified for all five national IA educational standards set by the Committee on National Systems Security (CNSS). Scholarship students are provided with appropriate mentoring support throughout their stay at the university. The scholarship program places significant emphasis on the recruitment of underrepresented groups in IA areas through its links with minority serving postsecondary institutions such as the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez, which is a partner in the curriculum development effort, and Lincoln University.
