Abstract:
The Information Trust Institute (ITI) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is an interdisciplinary research center addressing all aspects of information trust. It offers a range of valuable educational resources, including the NSA Center for Information Assurance Education and Research. To further its mission, it is now introducing a new scholarship program to enable more undergraduate students to pursue degrees in Information Assurance (IA) and computer security. The new program is called the Illinois Cyber Security Scholars Program (ICSSP). ICSSP scholarships will cover tuition, room and board, books, and some travel for the last two years of study for a bachelor's degree. In addition, students will receive an annual stipend.
