Federal Cyber Service: Scholarship for Service
**************************************************
The Federal Cyber Service: Scholarship for Service (SFS) program,
sponsored by the National Science Foundation (www.nsf.gov), seeks to
increase the number of qualified students entering the fields of
information assurance and computer security and to increase the capacity
of the United States higher education enterprise to continue to produce
professionals in these fields to meet the needs of our increasingly
technological society. The SFS program is composed of two tracks:
* The Scholarship Track provides funding to colleges and universities to
award scholarships to students in the information assurance and
computer security fields. Scholarship recipients shall pursue
academic programs in information assurance for the final two years of
undergraduate study, or for two years of master's-level study, or for
the final two years of Ph.D.-level study. These students will
participate as a cohort during their two years of study and
activities, including a summer internship in the Federal Government. A
limited number of students may be placed in National Laboratories and
Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs). The
recipients of the scholarships will become part of the Federal Cyber
Service of Information Technology Specialists whose responsibility is
to ensure the protection of the United States Government's information
infrastructure. Upon graduation, after their two-year scholarships,
recipients will be required to work for two years in the Federal
Government. A limited number of students may be placed in National
Laboratories and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers
(FFRDCs). This number shall be set by the program office each year.
* The Capacity Building Track provides funds to colleges and
universities to improve the quality and increase the production of
information assurance and computer security professionals.
Professional development of information assurance faculty and
development of academic programs can be funded under this track.
