The University of South Alabama (USA) proposes to add four new cohorts of undergraduate and graduate students to their existing CyberCorps(R) Scholarship for Service (SFS) program in cybersecurity with strong emphasis on the cutting edge of critical cybersecurity research. The program is graduating skilled cybersecurity professionals with strong leadership skills and a commitment to public service. The project will have an immediate impact on the cybersecurity capabilities of the federal workforce by providing graduates with general computing and security skills. The University of South Alabama has a record of meeting the needs of a diverse student body and a high percentage of the students come from rural or financially depressed areas. In the current program, 30% of the SFS Cyber Scholars are female and 15% are members of underrepresented groups. The project team consists of 17 cybersecurity-focused faculty members providing education and research opportunities to the SFS Cyber Scholars. The expert faculty along with the state-of-the-art security laboratories allow students to be on the cutting edge of critical cybersecurity research issues facing the nation in one of the best cybersecurity research facilities in the country.The project will continue the successful SFS Cyber Scholars program recruiting students throughout the Gulf Coast region and will enrich diversity and capacity in the national cyber workforce. The USA School of Computing is unique in this region, consolidating five undergraduate computing programs in information technology, computer science, cyber assurance, information systems, and health informatics. The project team brings both military service experience and experience in managing NSF's scholarship programs. Graduates of the USA Cyber Scholars program are skilled in research methodology, develop hands-on cyber knowledge, and are prepared professionally to enter the federal cyber workforce.

南阿拉巴马大学（美国）提议将四个新的本科生和研究生添加到其现有的网络核心（R）服务奖学金（SFS）的网络安全奖学金计划（SFS）计划，并非常重视关键网络安全研究的最前沿。该计划正在训练具有强大领导能力和公共服务承诺的熟练网络安全专业人员。该项目将通过为毕业生提供一般的计算和安全技能，对联邦劳动力的网络安全能力产生直接影响。南阿拉巴马大学的记录记录了满足多元化学生的需求，而很大一部分学生来自农村或经济沮丧的地区。在当前计划中，30％的SFS网络学者是女性，而15％是代表性不足的群体成员。该项目团队由17个以网络安全为中心的教职员工为SFS网络学者提供教育和研究机会。专家教师以及最先进的安全实验室使学生能够在该国最好的网络安全研究设施之一中处于关键网络安全研究问题的最前沿。该项目将继续进行SFS Cyber​​ Scholars计划招募整个墨西哥湾沿岸的学生，并将在整个墨西哥湾沿岸招募学生，并将在全国各地的多元化和能力中富裕。美国计算学院在该地区是独一无二的，巩固了信息技术，计算机科学，网络保证，信息系统和健康信息学方面的五个本科计算计划。项目团队带来了兵役经验和管理NSF的奖学金计划的经验。美国网络学者计划的毕业生擅长研究方法，发展动手网络知识，并准备进入联邦网络劳动力。
