"New scholars will no longer be accepted into a legacy version of the CyberCorps program without a description on how they will develop competencies at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI. The changes are effective immediately."
"Students enrolled today will not be employable when they graduate in 2-3 years without significant AI background. Therefore, new students in the legacy CyberCorps program must learn to acquire AI expertise to augment their cybersecurity expertise."
"The revamp comes as companies like Anthropic and OpenAI roll out increasingly advanced AI systems with cybersecurity applications that have caught the attention of the federal government's cyber and tech leaders."
The CyberCorps scholarship program is changing its recruitment standards to require applicants to show competencies in AI and cybersecurity. New scholars must describe how they will develop these skills. The changes are effective immediately, as current students may lack employability without AI knowledge. The program's restructuring is influenced by a recent NSF solicitation focusing on AI integration. New students must be proficient in using AI in cybersecurity or securing AI systems, reflecting the growing importance of AI in the field.
