This project aims to extend and expand the Illinois Cyber Security Scholars Program (ICSSP), which targets the government service workforce with the CyberCorps(R): SFS scholarship program. The College of Law (COL) becomes a new partner in this extension so SFS opportunities are now available to CS/ECE graduates and Juris Doctor Law students. The ICSSP selects from an annual pool of over 2,700 graduate and 6,700 undergraduate students and third-year community college transfer students to create a cohort of Illinois Cyber Security Scholars. Each year the Juris Doctor (J.D.) program admits 190 students of which 40% are from underrepresented minority groups. This expansion also improves outreach to minorities and 2-year college transfer students and increases the candidate pool of excellent students especially those coming from financially disadvantaged backgrounds. The senior project, contact with UIUC's Information Trust Institute faculty, and cooperative program with government facilities expose scholars to a better integration of research and education than is possible in the classroom alone. Furthermore, scholars bring their practical experience back, enriching the classroom experience for other UIUC students. In addition, proposed expansion of the ICSSP involves taking an interdisciplinary approach that emphasizes the importance of law and policy in addition to technical solutions.The proposed project has an important mission of preparing cybersecurity professionals for positions in agencies of the Federal, state, local and tribal government. Using knowledge and skills obtained in the program, the graduates are well prepared to meet challenges of protecting the information and infrastructure resources of our Nation.

该项目旨在扩展和扩大伊利诺伊州网络安全学者计划（ICSSP），其目标是政府服务人员与CyberCorps（R）：SFS奖学金计划。法学院（COL）成为这一扩展的新合作伙伴，因此现在可以向CS/ECE毕业生和法学博士法律学生提供SFS机会。ICSSP从每年超过2，700名研究生和6，700名本科生和三年级社区学院转学生中选择，以创建伊利诺伊州网络安全学者队列。每年，法学博士（JD）该计划招收了190名学生，其中40%来自代表性不足的少数群体。这种扩张还改善了对少数族裔和两年制大学转学生的外展，并增加了优秀学生的候选人库，特别是那些来自经济困难背景的学生。高级项目，与UIUC的信息信任研究所教师联系，并与政府设施的合作计划，使学者们能够更好地整合研究和教育，而不仅仅是在课堂上。此外，学者们把他们的实践经验回来，丰富了其他UIUC学生的课堂经验。此外，ICSSP的拟议扩展涉及采取跨学科的方法，强调法律和政策的重要性以及技术解决方案。拟议项目的重要使命是为联邦、州、地方和部落政府机构的网络安全专业人员做好准备。利用在该计划中获得的知识和技能，毕业生为应对保护我们国家信息和基础设施资源的挑战做好了充分准备。
