This project, centered in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin (UTCS), is creating the InfoSec Scholars for Service program. Participating students join a community of scholars built around the research of the Center for Information Assurance and Security (CIAS), the rigorous coursework of the InfoSec Certificate program, and an extensive public service career development program. The InfoSec Scholars program graduates a cadre of well-trained cybersecurity professionals with preparation for success in cybersecurity jobs at public agencies; and provides UTCS with stronger ties to government entities and added educational and research options for all students. The program's goals are to 1) prepare students with the academic knowledge to be successful cybersecurity professionals, 2) provide students with the career development skills to be successful public servants, 3) increase student involvement in cybersecurity research, and 4) place 100% of program participants in summer internships and full-time jobs in cybersecurity at government agencies. The intellectual merit of the InfoSec Scholars program is the project's ability to generate further development of a community of cybersecurity scholars at a top-ten research institution and to improve cybersecurity skill sets within government agencies. The strength of the Center for Information Assurance research unit, robust undergraduate and graduate research programs, strong infrastructure in support of students' career development, and a culture of faculty and staff involvement in students' intellectual and professional growth position it to successfully implement a model SFS program. The broader impacts of the program are the development of a hub of cybersecurity education at a leading institution in an important high tech region and the creation of a model program that engages students in cybersecurity research and education. The program brings a diverse group of bright, young professionals into cybersecurity jobs in government service benefiting the Nation by strengthening the country's information security infrastructure.

该项目集中在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校（UTCS）的计算机科学系，正在创建服务计划的Infosec学者。参与的学生加入了一个围绕信息保证与安全中心（CIAS）的研究，Infosec证书计划的严格课程以及广泛的公共服务职业发展计划的研究。 Infosec学者计划毕业了一批训练有素的网络安全专业人员，并准备在公共机构的网络安全工作中取得成功；并为UTC与政府实体有更牢固的联系，并为所有学生增加教育和研究选择。该计划的目标是1）为学生提供学术知识的准备，以成为成功的网络安全专业人员，2）为学生提供成功成为成功公务员的职业发展技能，3）增加学生参与网络安全研究的参与，而4）将100％的计划参与者从事暑期实习和政府机构网络社会工作的全职工作。 Infosec学者计划的智力优点是该项目在高级研究机构中进一步开发网络安全学者社区的能力，并提高政府机构内部的网络安全技能。信息保证研究中心，强大的本科和研究生研究计划，强大的基础设施支持学生职业发展的基础设施，以及教师和员工参与学生知识和专业成长的文化，以成功地实施Model SFS计划。该计划的更广泛的影响是在重要的高科技地区的领先机构中开发网络安全教育的枢纽，以及创建与学生参与网络安全研究和教育的模型计划。该计划通过加强该国信息安全基础设施来使政府服务的网络安全工作带来各种各样的年轻专业人士。
