Renewal of the CyberCorps Program at California State University San Bernardino

加州州立大学圣贝纳迪诺分校（CSUSB）提议在现有的CyberCorps（R）网络安全服务奖学金（SFS）计划中增加四个新的10名本科生和研究生，该计划具有动态课程，独特的应用学习要求和多样化的学生群体。该课程是围绕政府组织寻求合格学生的需求而设计的。CSUSB的服务区居住着来自不同种族背景的居民，包括那些目前在网络安全领域代表性不足的群体。大多数SFS学生是第一代少数民族学生，从社区大学转学，通常来自低收入和弱势背景，比非第一代同龄人在学术和社会方面准备不足。从辅导礼仪专业行为，CSUSB非常重视确保这个多元化的学生群体（50%西班牙裔，43%女性）学习必要的技能，成功地获得和保留专业就业。该计划已经实现了100%的毕业生就业率，并指导其他机构在招聘多样性，就业战略，利用大学资源和计划管理的最佳实践。虽然全国各地的许多SFS计划侧重于政策，技术管理，或安全编程和开发，CSUSB已经创建了一个课程，结合各种计划的元素，包括国家安全研究的一些内容。一个典型的CSUSB SFS学生精通网络安全政策，战术，威胁分析，反情报，网络，数据库，进攻和防御渗透测试和取证，所有应用的专业经验。项目目标包括：1）招募四批学者，每批有10名来自不同背景的研究生和本科生; 2）为学者提供学术支持和指导，从而实现100%的留存率; 3）通过每季度至少参加一次讲习班，促进其知识和技能的持续应用，每年两次技术竞赛，每季度在网络安全中心研究实验室至少50小时;和4）到2021年夏季，将100%的学者安排在联邦，州，地方或部落网络服务职位实习和就业。

The California State University-San Bernardino (CSUSB) proposes to add four new cohorts of 10 undergraduate and graduate students to their existing CyberCorps(R) Scholarship for Service (SFS) program in cybersecurity with dynamic curriculum, unique applied learning requirements, and a diverse student population. The curriculum is designed around the needs of government organizations seeking well-qualified students. CSUSB's service area is populated with residents from diverse ethnic backgrounds, including those groups that are currently underrepresented in cybersecurity field. Most SFS students are first generation minority students, transferring from community colleges, often from low-income and disadvantaged backgrounds, coming to college less academically and socially prepared than their non-first generation peers. From tutoring to etiquette to professional behavior, CSUSB places great emphasis on ensuring that this diverse student cohort (50% Hispanic, and 43% female) learns the skills necessary to successfully obtain and retain professional employment. The program has achieved 100% placement rate of their graduates and has mentored other institutions as to the best practices in recruitment diversity, placement strategies, leveraging university resources, and program management.While many SFS programs across the country focus on policy, management of technology, or secure programming and development, CSUSB has created a curriculum that combines the elements of various programs, including some elements of national security studies. A typical CSUSB SFS student is well versed in cyber security policy, tactics, threat analysis, counter intelligence, networking, database, offensive and defensive penetration testing, and forensics, all with applied professional experiences. The project objectives include: 1) recruit four cohorts of Scholars, each with 10 graduate and undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds; 2) provide academic support and mentoring to the Scholars that result in a 100% retention rate; 3) facilitate the ongoing application of their knowledge and skills by participating in at least one workshop per quarter, two technology competitions per year and at least 50 hours per quarter in the Cyber Security Center Research Lab; and 4) place 100% of the Scholars in internships and employment in federal, state, local or tribal cyber service positions by summer 2021.
