External Opportunities

Illinois Cyber Security Scholars Program

Deadline: April 15

Applications are now open for the Illinois Cyber Security Scholars Program (ICSSP) for Fall 2020! ICSSP is a Scholarship for Service program sponsored by the National Science Foundation open to qualified students in the College of Engineering and School of Information Sciences. The scholarship lasts up to three years and benefits include a full tuition waiver and stipend. With cybercrimes on the rise and a shortage of professionals, cybersecurity is a growing field that offers great career opportunities. To apply, you must already be admitted as a full-time, on-campus student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Graduate students applying for Fall 2020 must be already admitted to a graduate program in College of Engineering or Information Science focusing on information Security/Privacy. You must also be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. If you have any questions, contact Prof. Masooda Bashir at mnb@illinois.edu.
