Great Opportunity for college transfers GW University

Attend George Washington University – For Free!

The George Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science is currently seeking student applications for its 2010-2011 computer security and information assurance scholarship.

Transfer students receive an award that covers the costs for their full tuition, fees, books, and course materials. Students also earn an annual (9-month) stipend.

In return for those outstanding benefits, a student needs to participate in two years of study in information assurance and computer security and complete a paid internship with a federal agency. Upon graduation, students are also required to serve in a two-year paid employment position with the federal government. While at GW, students must also maintain a 3.2 gpa to retain their scholarship and continue in the program.

So students get free tuition, a monthly stipend, and a guaranteed job after graduation, just for participating!

This scholarship is only available to students who will be completing their studies at MC in May and are looking to enroll at a four-year school beginning in fall 2010.

Transfer students are eligible to apply if they have a 3.0 gpa and plan to major at GW in either Mathematics, Biometrics, Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Programming, Computer Support, Database Administration, Computer Systems Analysis, Operations Research, Information Security (Assurance), Forensic Science, Business Management, Business Administration, Public Policy, Public Administration, or another area related to computer security and information assurance.

Faculty and staff, please share this information with interested students.
