SFS Cybersecurity Scholars Program

计算机科学（31）这个项目资助三个两年的学生队列。该项目产生的毕业生谁是致力于进入联邦劳动力。该项目包括本科生和研究生。该计划的所有学生毕业时都获得硕士学位，因为参加该计划的本科生都参加了五年制的学士和硕士课程。本科生主要是跨学科的网络安全学位课程或计算机科学系，重点是网络安全。研究生学者主要从事计算机科学或计算机/电气工程的安全相关的集中计划。与其他部门的安全相关的重点特殊合格的学生也被考虑。特别注意将理论转化为实践的实践活动。所有学生在最后一年参加研究。该项目包括三个阶段：（1）招收学生，（2）教育和指导学生，（3）与学生、人事管理局和联邦机构直接合作，确保学生获得适当的实习和永久安置。智力优势：广泛的网络安全课程为学生提供教育，为他们作为信息保证和计算机安全专业人员的职业生涯做好充分的准备。PI团队在计算机安全和工业研究经验方面拥有强大的技术证书，这使他们特别适合运行该程序。该项目建立在两个NSF SFS能力建设赠款的基础上：一个是支持建立网络安全跨学科学位，另一个是开发动手网络安全实验室和相关课程。除了向奖学金获得者和雇用他们的联邦机构提供直接和明显的好处外，加强对安全的支持和关注也使其他学生受益，并为政府和私营部门提供了额外的劳动力发展。该项目与现有的大学支持计划合作，并与合作院校和当地K-12学校开展外联活动。

Computer Science (31)This project funds three two-year student cohorts. This project produces graduates who are committed to enter the federal workforce. The project includes both undergraduate and graduate students. All students in the program graduate with a Masters degree, as undergraduate students participating in the program are enrolled in a five-year combined Bachelors and Master program.Undergraduate students are primarily in the interdisciplinary cybersecurity degree program or in the computer science department with a focus on cybersecurity. Graduate scholars mainly pursue a security-related concentration program in computer science or computer/electrical engineering. Exceptionally qualified students with a security-related focus from other departments are also considered. Special attention is paid to hands-on activities that translate theory into practice. All students participate in research in their final year. The project consists of three phases: (1) recruiting students, (2) educating and mentoring the students, and (3) working with the students, OPM, and the federal agencies directly to ensure appropriate internship and permanent placements for the students. Intellectual Merit: The wide range of cybersecurity courses provides students with an education that prepares them thoroughly for careers as information assurance and computer security professionals. The PI team has strong technical credentials in computer security and industrial research experience that makes them particularly well-suited to run the program. This project builds upon two NSF SFS capacity building grants: one that supported the establishment of interdisciplinary degrees in cybersecurity and one that developed a hands-on cybersecurity lab and associated course.Broader Impacts: In addition to the direct and obvious benefits provided to the scholarship recipients and the federal agencies that hire them, the increased support for and attention to security also benefits other students and provides additional workforce development for both the government and private sectors. This project works with existing college support programs and engages in outreach activities with partner colleges and local K-12 schools.
