This project supports the continuation of the CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst). This program leverages the University's advanced programs to achieve its main objective of educating and training cybersecurity researchers and professionals for service career placement. It will support approximately 31 undergraduate and graduate level scholars, primarily from Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering. The program aims to foster successful cohorts through strong peer-mentoring, faculty advising, and academic and professional support. By educating cybersecurity scholars across disciplines, this program will help create a new generation of professionals and researchers to address novel and challenging problems facing society and industry. These students will help to modernize the Executive-branch workforce, advance science and technology at government laboratories, and secure our national defense. The program will prepare students for successful careers in cybersecurity through a combination of strong curricula, personalized professional development, interdisciplinary enrichment, unique research opportunities, and high-quality teaching. The program will continue to actively recruit and retain women and underrepresented minorities into UMass Amherst’s undergraduate and graduate programs as a primary objective. The program includes faculty and staff external to UMass Amherst to create a pipeline of students from minority-serving institutions, including Bunker Hill Community College, Holyoke Community College, and Springfield Technical Community College, as well as Brookdale Community College, which is a National Science Foundation Community College Cyber Pilot site. The program also includes a partnership with the Collaborative for Educational Services, a Massachusetts-based non-profit that recruits high school students for STEM careers, particularly those who are students of color or are low-income. 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.

该项目支持马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特大学（UMASS Amherst）的Cyber​​corps®奖学金（SFS）计划的延续。该计划利用大学的高级课程实现其教育和培训网络安全研究人员和专业人士的主要目标，以实现服务职业。它将支持大约31个本科生和研究生级的学者，这些学者是计算机科学以及电气和计算机工程的主要学者。该计划旨在通过强大的同伴导演，教师咨询以及学术和专业支持来促进成功的人群。通过对跨学科的网络安全学者进行教育，该计划将有助于创建新一代的专业人士和研究人员，以解决社会和行业面临的新颖和挑战问题。这些学生将有助于使政府实验室的行政分支员工队伍现代化，提高科学技术，并确保我们的国防。该计划将通过强大的课程，个性化的专业发展，跨学科的丰富，独特的研究机会和高质量的教学来为学生提供网络安全职业的准备。该计划将继续积极地招募和保留妇女，而代表性不足的少数族裔则为UMass Amherst的本科和研究生计划，这是一个主要目标。该计划包括UMASS Amherst外部的教职员工，以创建来自少数派服务机构的学生的管道，包括Bunker Hill社区学院，Holyoke社区学院和Springfield技术社区学院，以及Brookdale社区学院，这是国家科学基金会社区学院网络飞行员网站。该计划还包括与马萨诸塞州的一家非营利组织的教育服务合作伙伴关系，该组织招募了高中生从事STEM职业，尤其是那些有色学生或低收入的学生。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，科学接受者必须在联邦，州，地方或部落政府组织的网络安全工作中工作与科学支持相同的持续时间。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准通过评估而被视为珍贵的。
