NSF supports Iowa State “cyber talents” learning to protect critical infrastructure
Iowa State University will again work with the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) to build America’s CyberCorps.
The NSF recently announced $15 million in grants to four universities, including Iowa State, to support the CyberCorps Scholarship for Service program. The scholarships support students studying cybersecurity and committing to work in cybersecurity for federal, state, local or tribal governments, or other qualifying entities.
At Iowa State, the scholarships will provide $3.7 million over five years to support 24 students working toward a master’s degree in cybersecurity. The scholarships will be worth about $50,000 per year for each student, covering full tuition plus a stipend.
