Sam Houston State University (SHSU) establishes a CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program to serve four cohort classes of undergraduate and graduate students with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary education and research opportunities for scholars. The program will prepare 20 highly qualified students to become cyber leaders in the government workforce, with goals of increasing the percentage of scholars who are from underrepresented groups and supporting transfer students from community colleges. SHSU is a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education designated by National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security. As a Hispanic Serving Institution, the SHSU SFS program will also facilitate interactions with other minority serving institutions, building networks of universities and community colleges in the region recruiting cyber scholars.The SFS program at SHSU will educate and train scholars in different aspects of cybersecurity, such as Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Digital Forensics, and more. The interdisciplinary collaboration offers practical experiences to ease the transition into the workforce. The unique cross-department collaborative environment at SHSU will develop an interdisciplinary approach to educating and training cybersecurity workforce. Students will be prepared to make substantial contributions to our country’s cybersecurity defenses. This program targets the final two or three years of undergraduate and graduate students. The selected scholars will receive academic advisement, research and career mentoring, extracurricular activities, and coordinating placement with Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for internships and service.This project is supported by the CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program, which funds proposals establishing or continuing scholarship programs in cybersecurity and aligns with the U.S. National Cyber Strategy to develop a superior cybersecurity workforce. Following graduation, scholarship recipients are required to work in cybersecurity for a federal, state, local, or tribal Government organization for the same duration as their scholarship support. This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

萨姆休斯顿州立大学（SHSU）建立了CyberCorps®服务奖学金（SFS）计划，为本科生和研究生提供四个班级的服务，重点是为学者提供跨学科教育和研究机会。该计划将培养20名高素质的学生成为政府工作人员中的网络领导者，目标是提高来自代表性不足群体的学者的比例，并支持社区学院的转学生。SHSU是由国家安全局和国土安全部指定的网络防御教育学术卓越的国家中心。作为一个西班牙裔服务机构，SHSU SFS计划还将促进与其他少数民族服务机构的互动，在该地区建立大学和社区学院网络，招募网络学者。SHSU的SFS计划将教育和培训网络安全不同方面的学者，如计算机科学，网络安全，数字取证等。跨学科的合作提供了实际经验，以减轻过渡到劳动力。SHSU独特的跨部门协作环境将开发跨学科的方法来教育和培训网络安全员工。学生将准备为我国的网络安全防御做出实质性贡献。该计划的目标是本科生和研究生的最后两三年。被选中的学者将获得学术培训，研究和职业指导，课外活动，并与人事管理办公室（OPM）协调实习和服务。该项目由CyberCorps®服务奖学金（SFS）计划支持，该计划为建立或继续开展网络安全奖学金项目的提案提供资金，并与美国国家网络战略保持一致，以发展上级网络安全劳动力毕业后，奖学金获得者需要在联邦，州，地方或部落政府组织的网络安全工作与他们的奖学金支持相同的时间。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
