    Needs and Uses: The National Security Agency (NSA) is the Executive 
Administrator of the DoD Information Assurance Scholarship Program 
(IASP), serving on behalf of DoD Chief Information Officer. Those who 
wish to participate in the DoD IASP Recruitment program must complete 
and submit an application package through their college or university 
to NSA. Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance and 
Research (CAEs) interested in applying for capacity-building grants 
must complete and submit a written proposal, and all colleges and 
universities subsequently receiving grants must provide documentation 
on how the grant funding was utilized and the resulting 
accomplishments. Without this written documentation, the DoD has no 
means of judging the quality of applicants to the program or collecting 
information regarding program performance. In addition, the DoD IASP 
participants and their faculty advisors (Principal Investigators) are 
asked to complete annual program assessment surveys. These surveys are 
collectively reviewed to assess the program's effectiveness from the 
perspective of the students and Principal Investigators. The survey 
information is used to improve the program in subsequent years.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households, specifically college 
students at institutions designated as CAEs who are interested in, and 
qualify to apply for a scholarship; CAEs interested in submitting 
proposals for capacity-building grants, and faculty advisors (Principal 
Investigators).

    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Ms. Jasmeet Seehra at the Office of
