In 1998, Idaho State University (ISU) was among the country’s first National Security Agency (NSA)-designated Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance (now Cyber Defense). ISU has offered the Scholarship for Service (SFS) continually since 2003 – over which time it has produced 100 cybersecurity professionals for federal government organizations. ISU SFS graduates have gone on to become Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) in executive branch agencies, entrepreneurs, and academics, contributing to a robust cybersecurity ecosystem that supports national security and scientific community. This project extends ISU’s commitment to defend national security by producing qualified, adaptable and interdisciplinary graduates for federal employment over the next five years. In order to achieve its goal, ISU will select highly motivated, high-performing students from diverse academic backgrounds. Selected SFS scholars will engage in a cohort-based, education-professional experience. They will be engaged in solving complex cybersecurity challenges, including planning, designing, and carrying out an annual cybersecurity competition in regional institutions of higher education. SFS scholars will learn cybersecurity strategy, federal policy, risk management, and incident response from qualified faculty and staff in formal classroom settings. SFS scholars will be able to apply their knowledge to solve current and future challenges through research opportunities, cybersecurity competitions, and a final cybersecurity project. SFS scholars will interact regularly with ISU SFS alumni, who can provide scholarship recipients with relevant and timely insights about federal service in the cybersecurity field. SFS scholars will prepare for and take externally validated professional certification exams, such as Security+ and CISSP. ISU SFS scholars will serve as interns for and accept employment in the federal executive branch. 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.

1998年，爱达荷州立大学（ISU）是该国第一家国家安全局（NSA）指定的信息保证学术卓越中心（现为网络防御）。自2003年以来，ISU一直在不断提供服务奖学金（SFS） - 在此期间，它为联邦政府组织培养了100个网络安全专业人员。 ISU SFS的毕业生继续成为行政部门，企业家和学者的首席信息安全官（CISO），为支持国家安全和科学界的强大网络安全生态系统做出了贡献。该项目通过在未来五年内为联邦就业的合格，适应性和跨学科的毕业生提供合格，适应性和跨学科的毕业生来捍卫国家安全的承诺。为了实现其目标，ISU将选择来自潜水员学术背景的高度动机，高性能的学生。选定的SFS学者将参与基于队列的教育专业经验。他们将参与解决复杂的网络安全挑战，包括计划，设计以及在高等教育机构中进行年度网络安全竞争。 SFS学者将在正式的教室环境中学习网络安全战略，联邦政策，风险管理和事件的反应。 SFS SFS学者将能够通过研究机会，网络安全竞赛以及最终的网络安全项目来应用其知识来解决当前和未来的挑战。 SFS学者将定期与ISU SFS校友进行互动，后者可以为奖学金获得者提供有关网络安全领域联邦服务的相关和及时见解。 SFS学者将为安全+和CISSP等外部验证的专业认证考试做准备并参加外部验证的专业认证考试。 ISU SFS学者将在联邦行政部门担任实习生并接受就业。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。
