Cybercorps scholarships fund new generation of security gurus

The Cybercorps scholarship program aims US National Science Foundation funds at two important targets. The first is to educate more of the top computer science students in information assurance and security. The second is to convince them to bring those skills to government agencies after graduation. Since the scholarships began in 2001, students and college educators say the program has made a mark on the nation's next generation of security experts.
