Information Assurance Scholarship Program

卡内基梅隆大学的领导层非常支持这一计划，并坚信SFS使他们能够为保护联邦政府的信息基础设施做出实质性贡献。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。该大学每年为每个学生贡献25%的学费，在赠款的生命周期内，费用分摊总计约850，000美元，并使每个学生的费用约为74，000美元，而原始赠款约为87，000美元。SFS奖学金颁发给两个硕士学位的学生，信息安全技术与管理硕士和信息安全政策与管理硕士。这两个项目的课程都是根据国家安全局国家信息安全培训和教育计划的信息保障课程评估过程进行认证的，并根据NSTISSI第4011号-信息系统安全（INFOSEC）专业人员国家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.
