SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: DoD Cyber Scholarship 

Program; OMB Control Number 0704– 

0486. 

Needs and Uses: DoD Cyber 

Scholarship Program (CySP), authorized 

by 10 U.S.C. 2200 is designed to: 

Increase the number of new entrants to 

DoD who possess key Information 

Assurance (IA) and Information 

Technology (IT) skill sets; and serve as 

a tool to develop and retain welleducated military and civilian 

personnel who support the 

Department’s critical IT management 

and infrastructure protection functions. 

The DoD CySP recruitment track is for 

college students who, upon completion 

of the program, will work for the DoD. 

Pending availability of funds, the DoD 

CySP may also award capacity-building 

grants to colleges and universities 

designated as National Centers of 

Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity, 

(NCAE–Cs) for such purposes as 

developing cyber curricula and faculty, 

and building cyber laboratories. The 

recruitment track and institutional 

capacity-building grant programs both 

require a competitive application 

process. Recruitment scholarship 

applicants submit written 

documentation detailing their 

credentials. NCAE–Cs interested in 

applying for capacity-building grants 

must complete and submit a written 

proposal, and all NCAE–Cs receiving 

grants must provide documentation 

detailing the use of grant funding and 

the outcomes of the capacity-building 

initiative. DoD requires this information 

collection to measure the performance 

of the capacity-building components of 

the DoD CySP. DoD uses the 

information collected in the scholarship 

application process to assess the quality 

of applicants selected for inclusion in 

the DoD CySP. Without this written 

documentation detailing scholarship 

applicants’ credentials, grant proposals, 

and grant execution accomplishments, 

the DoD has no means of judging the 

quality of applicants to the program or 

collecting information regarding 

program performance. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households (Student Applicants); Notfor-profit Institutions; State, Local or 

Tribal Government; Businesses or other 

for-profit (Academic Institutions). 

Annual Burden Hours: 5,810. 

Number of Respondents: 690. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 690. 

Average Burden per Response: 8.42 

hours. 

Frequency: On Occasion.
