An Interdisciplinary Scholarship for Service Program

该项目在佩斯大学（佩斯）建立了一个为期四年的服务奖学金（SFS）计划。该计划为有兴趣学习信息保证的本科生提供为期两年的全额奖学金。 奖学金获得者必须在毕业后进入联邦劳动力市场。 为了增加多样性，该计划正在从目前就读于佩斯大学的学生以及佩斯大学的学术合作伙伴，特别是那些就读于少数民族院校的学生中招募潜在的奖学金候选人。 该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，因为他们需要参加信息保证和第二学科（如会计或刑事司法）的课程。因此，毕业生能够在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执行任务。该计划还支持教育活动，以提高一般学生对信息保障学科和联邦政府相关职业的认识。这些活动包括论文竞赛、研究研讨会以及行业外展和合作。 该计划的总体影响是将信息保障教育扩展到具有更广泛背景的学生，并为联邦劳动力队伍培养信息保障专业人员。

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.
