Illinois Cyber Security Scholar Program

计算机科学(31)这个项目为正在攻读信息保障(IA)本科学位的学生提供奖学金。每个奖学金用于学生学位课程的最后两年。学生们参与基于团队的项目--例如，受电网、航空电子系统和企业计算的激励--在这些项目中，他们使用最新的计算机安全技术来构建示例应用程序。毕业后，奖学金获得者必须为联邦政府机构的IA职位工作。这一奖学金计划正在帮助解决国家对在政府机构工作的合格信息技术专业人员的需求。该项目涉及向少数族裔和两年制大学转校生提供服务。

Computer Science (31)This project provides scholarships for students seeking undergraduate degrees in Information Assurance (IA). Each scholarship is for the last two years of a student's degree program. Students are engaged in team-based projects -- motivated, for example, by the power grid, avionics systems, and enterprise computing -- in which they build example applications using the latest computer security techniques. Upon graduation, scholarship recipients must work for a Federal government agency in an IA position. This scholarship program is helping to address the nation's need for qualified information technology professionals working in government agencies. The project involves outreach to minorities and to two-year college transfer students.
