NSF CyberCorps ® SFS: Leading in Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Education
Shaping the Future of Cybersecurity and the Nation Our dual success with DoD CSA and NSF SFS scholarships solidifies the CIS department’s standing as a pinnacle of cybersecurity education. This achievement reflects our commitment to producing skilled cybersecurity professionals and positions us as a critical contributor to the nation’s cybersecurity workforce. Our scholars get unparalleled learning experiences, mentorship and hands-on training. As they transition into roles within government agencies, they bring a wealth of knowledge, fresh perspectives and a commitment to securing the nation’s digital infrastructure. By nurturing top-tier professionals and contributing to the nation’s cybersecurity resilience, Embry-Riddle is helping set a high bar for educational excellence, ensuring the United States remains at the forefront of cybersecurity innovation and defense.
The SFS program, a collaboration between the NSF and select universities, addresses the critical shortage of cyber professionals in government agencies. Students earn full-ride scholarships and commit to working for the government in return. Emphasizing interdisciplinary education, this SFS program prepares students
with technical skills and a broader understanding of ethical, legal and
social implications. Since 2022, the CIS department has awarded 17 scholarships.
