The Federal Cyber Corps Program
The Cyber Corps Program is open to students currently completing
their junior year of undergraduate school or first-year of graduate
school. In addition to a stipend of approximately $1,000 per month,
the Program pays for each student's tuition for two years, room and
board, and travel to conferences.
After one year of training, students complete a summer internship
in a federal agency, learning first-hand about computer security issues
and putting into practice what they've learned in class. By the end
of the second year students earn an undergraduate or graduate degree
in computer science in addition to multiple federal-level computer security
certificates as endorsed by the Committee on National Security Systems
(CNSS).
