Developing a well-trained cybersecurity workforce is broadly critical to the nation’s economic competitiveness and security. The Indiana University Cybersecurity Scholarship Program (IUCSP) will provide 16 diverse students a novel cybersecurity educational program that combines Indiana University’s (IU) interdisciplinary academic curriculum with real-world internship experiences. To ensure diversity, IUCSP will engage in active recruitment and outreach through an array of initiatives. These initiatives include cybersecurity summer camps hosted by IU’s Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research, existing partnerships with Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana, and collaboration with IU’s Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs, the Black Student Union, the IU-Minority Serving Institutions STEM Initiative, and the Center of Excellence for Women in Technology. The combination of strong academic preparation with applied experience, via the IU Cybersecurity Clinic, will produce cybersecurity leaders uniquely situated to strengthen the U.S. government workforce, national security needs, and critical infrastructure protection.IU is a designated National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense in both Education and Research. The proposed IUCSP will produce a pipeline of students holding undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral degrees from one of IU’s academic degree offerings: a bachelor’s in Computer Science, a doctorate in Computer Science, a master’s in Secure Computing, or an interdisciplinary master’s in Cybersecurity Risk Management. This project will determine the efficacy of the IUCSP components, which include recruitment and outreach at major cybersecurity conventions, educational programming as part of the IU Cybersecurity Clinic, summer internships with government organizations, dedicated mentoring, and involvement in workshops and other activities that will ensure IU’s programs continue to be state-of-the-art. Degrees will be coupled with real-world experience from several established, IU-led cybersecurity organizations, as follows. The Omni Security Operations Center helps higher education institutions reduce the impact of cybersecurity threats through a joint Security Operations Center collaboration. The National Science Foundation (NSF) Cybersecurity Center of Excellence leads other NSF-funded research organizations in addressing cybersecurity challenges. The Research and Education Network Information Sharing and Coordination Center serves over 620 member institutions within the higher education and research community by promoting cybersecurity operational protections and response. The IU Cybersecurity Clinic pairs students with Indiana-based organizations to tackle real-world organizational cybersecurity challenges. In addition, students will benefit from IU’s own cybersecurity operations team, which protects 100,000+ students and employees. 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.

建立训练有素的网络安全劳动力对国家的经济竞争力和安全至关重要。印第安纳大学网络安全奖学金计划（IUCSP）将为16名不同的学生提供一个新颖的网络安全教育计划，该计划将印第安纳大学（IU）跨学科学术课程与现实世界中的企业经验相结合。为了确保多样性，IUCSP将通过一系列计划从事积极招聘和宣传。 These initiatives include cybersecurity summer camps hosted by IU’s Center for Applied Cyber​​security Research, existing partnerships with Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana, and collaboration with IU’s Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs, the Black Student Union, the IU-Minority Serving Institutions STEM Initiative, and the Center of Excellence for Women in Technology.通过IU网络安全诊所，强大的学术准备与应用经验的结合将产生网络安全领导者的独特位置，以增强美国政府的劳动力，国家安全需求和关键基础设施保护。IU是指定的国家安全局和国土安全部在教育和研究方面的网络卓越安全中心。拟议的IUCSP将产生IU学位之一提供的学生，硕士学位和博士学位的学生的管道：计算机科学学士学位，计算机科学博士学位，安全计算的硕士学位或网络安全风险管理领域的跨学科硕士学位。该项目将确定IUCSP组件的效率，其中包括在主要网络安全公约上招募和宣传，作为IU网络安全诊所的一部分，教育计划，与政府组织的暑期实习，专门的心理实习，专门的心理和参与和其他活动的活动和其他活动，以确保IU的计划继续保持状态。如下所示，学位将与几个已建立的IU领导的网络安全组织的现实经验相结合。 OMNI安全运营中心通过联合安全操作中心协作来帮助高等教育机构减少网络安全威胁的影响。国家科学基金会（NSF）网络安全卓越中心领导其他由NSF资助的研究组织应对网络安全挑战。研究和教育网络信息共享和协调中心通过促进网络安全操作保护和响应，为高等教育和研究社区中的620多家成员机构提供服务。 IU网络安全诊所将学生与印第安纳州的组织配对，以应对现实世界中的组织网络安全挑战。此外，学生将从IU自己的网络安全操作团队中受益，该团队可以保护100,000多名学生和员工。该项目得到了Cyber​​corps®服务奖学金（SFS）计划的支持，该计划资助建立或持续的网络安全科学计划，并与美国国家网络战略保持一致，以开发出色的网络安全劳动力。毕业后，奖学金获得者必须在与科学支持相同的持续时间内为联邦，州，地方或部落政府组织的网络安全工作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准的评估来评估。
