Therefore, if you are interested in Cyber Security / Privacy, please visit http://publish.illinois.edu/cybersecurityscholars/ to learn more about the program and apply for the scholarship.
The application deadline is March 31, 2023.
To be eligible to apply, you must be
- An US citizen.
- You must be either a College of Engineering undergraduate or graduate student with a focus on cyber or information security and privacy (undergraduates must be within 4 semesters of completing their degree to apply), or a School of Information Sciences graduate student in the MSIM or PhD degree program.
