Scholarships for Service in Information Assurance

美国南阿拉巴马大学的网络兵团：服务奖学金(SFS)项目培养了至少20名高素质的信息保障(IA)和网络安全专业人员，以便在联邦、州、地方和部落政府机构服务。该项目开发了一个网络学者计划，将全国IA的学术覆盖范围扩大到整个墨西哥湾沿岸地区的学生，增加了国家网络安全工作人员的多样性和能力。美国计算学院(SoC)有三个获得教唆认证的计算机课程，其中包括一个健康信息学学位课程，该课程提供了IA领域的实质性互动，并提供了吸引女性进入计算机领域的独特机会。该项目与当地少数群体机构合作，如指定的代表性不足的毕晓普州立社区学院，以及该地区的其他社区大学，提高各种农村社区对网络安全问题的认识。美国有一个与行业和政府机构合作的强大的K-12推广计划，包括为中学女生举办的一年一度的GEMS(女孩探索数学与科学)会议，以及为高中生举办的夏季安全研讨会。

The CyberCorps: Scholarship for Service (SFS) program at the University of South Alabama (USA) prepares at least 20 highly qualified Information Assurance (IA) and cybersecurity professionals for service in federal, state, local, and tribal governmental agencies. The project develops a Cyber Scholars Program that expands the national IA academic reach to students throughout the Gulf Coast region, increasing diversity and capacity of the national cybersecurity workforce. The USA School of Computing (SoC) has three ABET-accredited computing programs, including a health informatics degree program that offers substantial interaction in IA and a unique opportunity to attract women into the computing field. The project collaborates with local minority institutions such as Bishop State Community College, a designated underrepresented institution, and other community colleges in the region, raising awareness of cybersecurity issues in a wide variety of rural communities. USA has a strong K-12 outreach program in partnership with industry and government agencies, including an annual GEMS (Girls Exploring Math & Science) conference for middle school girls and Summer Security Seminars for high school students.
