Abstract

To attract and encourage the best and the brightest students to pursue state, federal and tribal government careers in cybersecurity, the National Science Foundation's CyberCorps: Scholarship for Service (SFS) program was created and funded in 2000 as part of the Federal Cyber Services training and education initiative. Only institutions with a strong and established academic program in cybersecurity are eligible to participate in the CyberCorps SFS program. For the past four years, Towson University (TU) has offered CyberCorps scholarships to highly-qualified undergraduate students in computer science with a track in computer security. The poster describes the TU cybersecurity curriculum and the extracurricular activities that have been essential in bringing the CyberCorps SFS program to TU and recruiting qualified undergraduate students, as well as, challenges and lessons learned.
