Description
CyberAICorps Scholarship for Service (CyberAI SFS) addresses the national shortage of professionals trained in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. CyberAI encompasses both using AI in cybersecurity operations and securing AI systems themselves. NSF’s Directorate for STEM Education manages the program in collaboration with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and Department of Homeland Security.
The Scholarship Track establishes or continues scholarship-for-service programs integrating AI and cybersecurity, with a goal of placing and retaining experts in government missions. The Innovation Track supports transformative education projects in AI, cybersecurity, or their intersection. These projects may expand curricula, degree programs, educational pathways, experiential learning, professional development, and partnerships among higher education institutions, government, and employers. Innovation projects should have potential for wide adoption and share their outcomes broadly.
