This project expands the ongoing CyberCorps®: Scholarship for Service (SFS) program at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), building on its existing capabilities to address the national cyber security personnel crisis. In 2001, the University of Nebraska established the Nebraska Center for Information Assurance (NUCIA) at UNO and, in 2003, it was approved as a the Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAEIAE) and received its first NSF award for SFS scholarships. Since 2003 UNO has produced numerous IA graduates, including 34 Scholarship for Service scholars.The program is designed to present the students with a technical background including network security, reverse engineering, critical infrastructure protection, security theory, the foundations of Information Assurance, and other topics in cybersecurity. SFS students have demonstrated their technical proficiency by participating -- and scoring highly -- in international cyber competitions. Broader impacts of the student support include the students presenting briefings on critical infrastructure protection before Federal and other government officials. The SFS students also work with DoD to deliver cybersecurity training through worldwide workshops, and assist local industry in security auditing and training.Upon graduation the UNO scholars have moved on to positions within NSF, Departments of Commerce and Treasury, and the United States Strategic Command, among others. Past SFS students regularly return to the institution and participate in the mentoring and competitions along with current SFS students, thus perpetuating the support as well as linking new UNO graduates with practitioners in the field. NUCIA continues to strengthen its partnerships with local community colleges and high schools to recruit talented students for the SFS program as well as promote awareness of information assurance as a career choice.

该项目扩展了正在进行的网络科尔斯®：服务奖学金（SFS）计划的奥马哈大学（UNO）（UNO）的奖学金（SFS）计划，该计划基于其现有能力解决国家网络安全人员危机的现有能力。 2001年，内布拉斯加州大学在UNO建立了内布拉斯加州信息保证中心（NICIA），并于2003年被批准为信息保证教育学术卓越学术中心（CAEIAE），并获得了其SFS奖学金的首个NSF奖。自2003年以来，UNO培养了众多IA毕业生，其中包括34名服务学者奖学金。该计划旨在向学生提供技术背景，包括网络安全，逆向工程，关键基础设施保护，安全理论，信息保证基础以及其他网络安全的主题。 SFS的学生通过参加国际网络竞赛，表现出了他们的技术水平。学生支持的更广泛的影响包括在联邦和其他政府官员面前介绍有关关键基础设施保护的简报。 SFS的学生还与国防部合作，通过全球讲习班进行网络安全培训，并协助当地行业进行安全审计和培训。UPON毕业UNO学者已继续担任NSF，商业和财政部以及美国战略司令部的职位。过去的SFS学生会定期返回该机构，并与当前的SFS学生一起参加心理和竞赛，从而使支持延续，并将新的UNO毕业生与该领域的从业人员联系起来。 Nucia继续加强与当地社区大学和高中的合作伙伴关系，以招募有才华的学生参加SFS计划，并促进对信息保证作为职业选择的认识。
