LAWRENCE (KSNT) – The University of Kansas School of Engineering will receive nearly $5 million dollars to educate cyberdefense experts “dedicated to public service” according to the school.
The school claims the new, $4.7 million, five-year grant from the National Science Foundation will make America “stronger in an era of rising cyberattacks.” CyberCorps: New Scholarship for Service Program at the University of Kansas (Jayhawk SFS) will help train “dozens” of undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students. The 36 security-experts-in-training will commit to work at government cybersecurity jobs following graduation. It will be their responsibility to safeguard critical infrastructure.
The KU trained experts could potentially work at the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Department of Defense and the National Laboratories, as well as state and local departments. For the full article click here
