and 
[/h]Deadline Extended.....
Scholarship applications must be submitted no later than 12:00 Midnight EDT, Friday, August 30, 2013
The 2011 (ISC)²® Global Information Security Workforce Study indicated for the first time the enormity of the gap between demand for cyber security workers and supply. The 2013 study, conducted by Frost & Sullivan, in partnership between (ISC)² Foundation and Booz Allen Hamilton, shows the top five skill sets lacking are security analyst, security engineer with skills in planning/design or application, security auditor, and security architect. US military veterans who are returning to the civilian workforce provide a viable pool of motivated, intelligent professionals with a solid work ethic. However, this talent pool needs training and placement assistance to ease their transition into the civilian workforce.
The U.S.A. Cyber Warrior Scholarship, presented in a partnership between (ISC)² Foundation and Booz Allen Hamilton, provides underwriting for training, textbooks, phone application-enabled study materials, certification testing and placement of qualified* returning veterans who served in the United States Military. This program will focus on four (ISC)² certifications that will better position returning veterans to transition into the civilian workforce: SSCP®, CISSP®, CAP® and CSSLP® (or Associate of CISSP or Associate of SSCP).

Applicant Pool[/h]Numerous job ratings within the military require security certification under DOD 8570, however many service men and women perform tasks that would prepare them for work in information security if they received additional training.

A list of those functions is included in the application form.
[h=2]Applicant Qualifications:[/h]
[h=2]*Certification Qualifications[/h]CISSP qualifications: minimum of five years of direct full-time security professional work experience in two or more of the ten domains of the CISSP CBK®, or four years work experience plus a four-year college degree.
