The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), a designated National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education and Research, proposes to continue and expand its participation in the CyberCorps(R) Scholarship for Service (SFS) program to prepare highly-qualified cybersecurity professionals for entry into the government workforce. The project will increase involvement of students in several cyber-relevant disciplines. The project will have an immediate impact on the information assurance and forensics capabilities of the federal workforce by developing well-trained cybersecurity professionals. The project will increase interest in cybersecurity among students, both in information sciences and in related interdisciplinary areas such as computer engineering, computer science, social science, and risk analysis. To date, the SFS program at Penn State has provided scholarships to twenty-six students and each of them had at least one government job offer at the time of graduation. This project provides a multi-disciplinary environment within Penn State's College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) with the opportunity to identify, analyze and solve real-world security and privacy problems from technical, legal, ethical, policy, and business perspectives. The program seeks to improve the cybersecurity posture of individuals and organizations by creating innovative solutions for detecting and removing cyber threats, recovering from cyber-attacks, protecting privacy, understanding policy, enhancing trust, and mitigating risks. A critical feature of the SFS program at Penn State is its interdisciplinary nature, which requires engagement across the university. SFS students work on a variety of real-world projects that connect cyber with diverse topics, like: assessing online terrorist recruitment strategies or combating drug and human trafficking. Further, the college hosts eight labs dedicated to innovative research in cybersecurity, funded by government agencies and the private sector. Student professional development covers the following topics: resumes; cover letters and interviews; the internship as an extended interview; personality and leadership types; surviving politics and criticism; effective meeting management; professional presentations; career management skills; and emerging topics in national security.

宾夕法尼亚州立大学（Penn State）是信息保障教育和研究领域的指定国家学术卓越中心，提议继续并扩大其在CyberCorps（R）服务奖学金（SFS）计划中的参与，以培养高素质的网络安全专业人员进入政府工作队伍。该项目将增加学生对若干网络相关学科的参与。该项目将通过培养训练有素的网络安全专业人员，对联邦工作人员的信息保证和取证能力产生直接影响。该项目将增加学生对网络安全的兴趣，无论是在信息科学还是在相关的跨学科领域，如计算机工程，计算机科学，社会科学和风险分析。到目前为止，宾夕法尼亚州立大学的SFS项目已经为26名学生提供了奖学金，他们每个人在毕业时都至少有一份政府工作。该项目在宾夕法尼亚州立大学信息科学与技术学院（IST）内提供了一个多学科环境，有机会从技术，法律的，道德，政策和商业角度识别，分析和解决现实世界的安全和隐私问题。该计划旨在通过创建创新的解决方案来检测和消除网络威胁，从网络攻击中恢复，保护隐私，了解政策，增强信任和减轻风险，从而改善个人和组织的网络安全状况。宾夕法尼亚州立大学SFS计划的一个重要特征是其跨学科性质，这需要整个大学的参与。SFS学生从事各种现实世界的项目，将网络与各种主题联系起来，例如：评估在线恐怖分子招募策略或打击毒品和人口贩运。此外，该学院还拥有八个实验室，致力于网络安全的创新研究，由政府机构和私营部门资助。学生专业发展涵盖以下主题：简历;求职信和面试;实习作为一个扩展面试;个性和领导类型;生存的政治和批评;有效的会议管理;专业演讲;职业管理技能;和国家安全的新兴话题。
