The National Science Foundation (NSF) has introduced for the first time, the CyberCorps: Scholarship for Service (SFS) Hall of Fame. The SFS Hall of Fame recognizes SFS alumni who have made outstanding contributions to cybersecurity.
Established in 2000, the SFS program provides scholarships to students studying cybersecurity and funding to increase the U.S. higher education enterprise's ability to produce cybersecurity professionals. To date, more than 3,300 students have received scholarships and committed to work for federal, state, local or tribal government organizations in positions related to cybersecurity. Of these, three have been recognized in the inaugural class of SFS Hall of Fame recipients:
- Josiah Dykstra, U.S. Department of Defense
