To be eligible to apply:
You must be a US citizen or permanent resident.
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 degrees to apply), or a School of Information Sciences graduate student in the MSIM or PhD degree program.
