It's like ROTC for geeks. Participating schools include Carnegie Mellon, Iowa State, Purdue, the University of Idaho, University of Tulsa and the Naval Postgraduate School. The feds have had trouble luring "cream of the crop" security professionals, so dangling the scholarship carrot may be just the ticket.
