This project establishes a Scholarship for Service (SFS) program at Pace University (Pace) over a four-year period. The program provides full scholarships for two years to undergraduate students interested in studying information assurance. Scholarship recipients are required to enter the federal workforce upon graduation. To increase diversity, the program is recruiting potential scholarship candidates from students currently enrolled at Pace as well as from Pace's academic partners, particularly those attending minority institutions. This SFS program educates students to become information assurance professionals with interdisciplinary backgrounds as they are required to take courses in both information assurance and in a second discipline such as accounting or criminal justice. The graduates are therefore able to conduct tasks in areas such as computer security risk analysis, information technology auditing, cyber crime investigation and computer forensics. The program also supports educational activities to promote awareness among the general student body of the information assurance discipline and related careers in the federal government. These activities include paper competitions, research seminars, and industry outreach and collaboration. The overall impact of this program is to extend information assurance education to students with broader backgrounds and to produce a corps of information assurance professionals for the federal workforce.

该项目在佩斯大学(PACE)建立了一个为期四年的服务奖学金(SFS)计划。该计划为对学习信息保障感兴趣的本科生提供为期两年的全额奖学金。奖学金获得者在毕业时必须进入联邦劳动力大军。为了增加多样性，该项目正在从目前在佩斯注册的学生以及佩斯的学术合作伙伴中招募潜在的奖学金候选人，特别是那些就读于少数族裔机构的学生。这一SFS计划教育学生成为具有跨学科背景的信息保证专业人员，因为他们被要求同时学习信息保证课程和第二学科，如会计或刑事司法。因此，毕业生能够从事计算机安全风险分析、信息技术审计、网络犯罪调查和计算机取证等领域的工作。该方案还支持教育活动，以提高普通学生群体对联邦政府信息保障学科和相关职业的认识。这些活动包括论文竞赛、研究研讨会和行业推广与合作。该计划的总体影响是将信息保证教育扩展到具有更广泛背景的学生，并为联邦工作人员培养一支信息保证专业人员队伍。
