CyberCorps Scholarship for Service: Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity and Cyber Forensics

山姆·休斯顿州立大学(SHSU)建立了一项CyberCorps®服务奖学金(SFS)计划，为四个本科生和研究生班级提供服务，强调学者的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不足群体的学者的比例，并支持来自社区大学的转学学生。SHSU是由美国国家安全局和国土安全部指定的国家网络防御教育学术卓越中心。作为一个拉美裔服务机构，SHSU SFS计划还将促进与其他少数族裔服务机构的互动，建立该地区大学和社区学院招募网络奖学金的网络。SHSU SFS计划将在网络安全的不同方面教育和培训学者，如计算机科学、网络安全、数字取证等。这种跨学科协作提供了实践经验，可以轻松过渡到劳动力市场。上海理工大学独特的跨部门协作环境将发展一种跨学科的方法来教育和培训网络安全工作人员。学生们将准备为我国的网络安全防御做出实质性贡献。这个项目的目标是本科生和研究生的最后两到三年。入选的学者将获得学术建议、研究和职业指导、课外活动，并与人事管理办公室(OPM)协调实习和服务安排。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计划提供资金，并与美国国家网络战略保持一致，以培养一支优秀的网络安全劳动力队伍。奖学金获得者毕业后必须在联邦、州、地方或部落政府组织中从事网络安全工作，工作时间与他们的奖学金支持期限相同。 该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
