Summary Of Program Requirements

General Information

Program Title:

CyberAICorps Scholarship for Service (CyberAI SFS)
Synopsis of Program:

Government and the nation face a talent shortfall in artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity. The CyberAICorps Scholarship for Service (CyberAI SFS) program welcomes proposals that address AI and cybersecurity education and workforce development. CyberAI refers to using AI in cybersecurity as well as providing security and resilience for AI systems.

• The Scholarship Track provides funding to establish, or to continue, scholarship for service programs with integrated AI and cybersecurity components (CyberAI). Scholarship recipients must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents and work after graduation in the AI or cybersecurity mission of a government organization for a period of at least the length of the scholarship.
• The Innovation Track supports projects that enhance preparation of AI and/or cybersecurity professionals. Projects may expand existing educational opportunities, curricula, degree programs, educational pathways, methods and interventions, and partnerships among institutions of higher education, government, and employers. Two statutes authorize this program: 15 USC §7442 (cybersecurity) and 42 USC §18993 (AI). CyberAI SFS aligns with the Executive Order 14277 to prioritize AI within scholarship for service programs. CyberAI is managed by NSF's Directorate for STEM Education in collaboration with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

I. Introduction

Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming both the attack surface and the defensive mechanisms across government, critical infrastructure, and the broader economy. Adversaries already use AI to scan targets, run larger phishing campaigns, and create adaptive malware. Government agencies need AI-based defenses, but they face a serious shortage of experts trained in both AI and cybersecurity. These experts are needed to secure AI systems like data pipelines, AI models, and deployments. They must also apply AI to improve cyber operations and translate research into practice.

AI is both a threat vector and a defense enabler. Addressing this dual use requires coordinated and interdisciplinary team efforts. This requires basic research in areas such as adversarial machine learning and trustworthy AI. In short, a highly skilled workforce is needed to develop, deploy, and defend AI systems.

To address this need, the United States must grow a strong and adaptive AI workforce. Academic institutions must build a robust national talent pipeline. The Federal government now names AI as a top priority. This reflects two facts: AI systems can produce new threats, and AI can strengthen cybersecurity through automation, decision support, and fast threat response.

The CyberAICorps Scholarship for Service (CyberAI SFS) program is an extension, reflected in a new name, of the long-standing CyberCorps® SFS program. Building on longstanding success, the CyberAI SFS program will enhance the CyberCorps® SFS model to include specialized competencies in AI. CyberAI is defined broadly to include (a) the use of AI in cybersecurity operations and (b) the security and resilience of AI systems themselves.

II. Program Description

The goals of the CyberAI SFS Program are to: (1) increase the number of CyberAI experts and support their placement and retention in the mission of government organizations; and (2) enhance the national capacity for the education and training of AI and cybersecurity professionals, educators, and researchers.

Proposals must include discussion of how the proposed project will address one or more of the following measures of success: (1) improvements in student educational outcomes, (2) support undergraduates, graduates, and postdoctoral fellows, (3) training for undergraduate and graduate students in a specific critical area, (4) curriculum developed and shared, (5) participants hired into a STEM related field, and (6) publications from research.

The CyberAI SFS program supports student scholarships for service (Scholarship Track) and educational innovations (Innovation Track).

Scholarship Track

The Scholarship Track funds academic institutions to award scholarships to students. In return students agree to work in the AI or cybersecurity mission of a government agency. This post-graduation work period must be at least as long as the scholarship. All scholarship recipients must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. Proposals submitted to this track must clearly specify one of two focus areas in the proposal summary:

• Focus Area–Cyber: prepares cyber experts to use AI in cybersecurity operations. The scholars must complete a formal cybersecurity program (major, minor, concentration, track, certificate, etc.) with at least four cybersecurity courses and a minimum of two AI courses.
• Focus Area–AI: prepares AI professionals to protect the security of AI systems and infrastructure. The scholars must complete a formal AI program (major, minor, concentration, track, certificate, etc.) with at least four AI courses and a minimum of two cybersecurity courses. All proposals must include meaningful opportunities for scholars to engage in informal learning experiences (competitions, service learning, etc.), mentored research, and applied projects in AI and cybersecurity. Proposals may address the security of emerging domains such as quantum computing, aerospace, energy, or other high-impact sectors where AI and cybersecurity are converging.

Innovation Track

The Innovation Track seeks transformative education proposals in the areas of AI, cybersecurity, or the integration of AI and cybersecurity. Proposed projects should have potential for wide adoption. They should help the U.S. educational system train more AI and cybersecurity experts.

Proposals competing in this track should contribute to the expansion of existing education or training opportunities and resources to address the second goal of the CyberAI program. Project outcomes should be widely shared. These efforts may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Develop and share cutting-edge instructional materials and methods in AI or its role in cybersecurity.
• Foster experiential learning through curricular innovations, competitions, and applied research in AI, cybersecurity, or their intersection across STEM domains.
• Expand professional development for researchers, educators, and practitioners in AI or cybersecurity at all levels.
• Integrate basic or advanced AI or cybersecurity training with other fields to address human interaction with AI systems.
• Build communities of practice with shareable datasets, AI models, and computing resources through partnerships. More details about the program requirements are in section V.A Proposal Preparation Instructions and V.B Budgetary Information.

  • CyberAI SFS Scholarship Internship Requirements and Service Obligation: Proposals must articulate how the institution will collaborate with the CyberAI SFS Program Office to advise, report, and monitor fulfillment of scholar internship and service obligation requirements. During the scholarship period, CyberAI SFS scholarship recipients must participate in qualified summer internships related to AI or cybersecurity. During the commitment period, scholarship recipients must serve in a qualified government organization for a period equal to at least the duration of the scholarship period.
  • CyberAI SFS Institutional Responsibility and Project Management Plan: Proposing institutions must include a project management plan with a description of how the following institutional responsibilities will be fulfilled. The term "awardee" refers to the institution receiving the NSF grant, and the term "recipient" refers to the individual receiving the CyberAI SFS scholarship. The awardee must (1) verify scholarship candidates' eligibility, including citizenship or permanent resident status, recipients' academic merit, appropriate professional skills, and enrollment in an AI or cybersecurity program; (2) track the academic progress of students to determine their continued eligibility throughout the Scholarship Phase of the program; (3) ensure scholarship recipients complete counseling before receiving the scholarship and before they complete the Scholarship Phase; (4) coordinate with the CyberAI SFS Program Office for summer internships and permanent job placements for each student; (5) monitor scholars' employment obligations and provide the CyberAI SFS Program Office annual verifiable post-scholarship employment documentation until completion of service obligations; (6) use Forgivable Loan Promissory Notes or similar agreements between the institution and the student to facilitate repayment; (7) determine repayment amounts and notify the recipient and the CyberAI SFS Program Office of the amounts owed when the service obligation is not fulfilled; and (8) collect repayment amounts, including interest, in a manner consistent with the provisions of a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan under part D of Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965. All forfeited scholarship funds, less reasonable, allocable, and allowable Awardee costs associated with collection of the repayment, not to exceed 5% of the forfeited amount, will be returned to the U.S. Treasury and may not be reused by the Awardee.
• Renewal Proposals: NSF will consider proposals from institutions that have not previously participated in the CyberAI SFS Program separately from proposals from renewing institutions. Institutions with a current CyberAI SFS Scholarship Track project must wait until the current project is within 14 months of the expected end date before submitting a renewal proposal. Institutions that previously supported CyberAI SFS students will normally submit a traditional renewal. However, accomplishment-based renewal proposals may be submitted, after consulting with the NSF CyberAI SFS program (sfs@nsf.gov), by CyberAI SFS institutions that achieved an outstanding level of performance. An institution can only submit one accomplishment-based renewal proposal. Both traditional renewal and accomplishment-based renewal must provide (1) specific evidence of their current CyberAI SFS project's achievements including, but not limited to, employment statistics, faculty development activities, integration of research and education, mentoring of non-SFS institutions, partnerships with government and relevant employment sectors, community outreach, and curricular innovations; and (2) development of innovative and potentially transformative interdisciplinary approaches to cybersecurity or AI education and workforce development.

B. Budgetary Information

Cost Sharing:

Inclusion of voluntary committed cost sharing is prohibited.

Other Budgetary Limitations:

The tuition amount in the proposal budget should reflect the average tuition that would be applied to a similar student without an SFS scholarship. The U.S. Department of Education College Affordability and Transparency Center provides information about average tuition and net prices at postsecondary institutions that will be used to assess the proposal's budget. After accepting a negotiated net cost, the institution must exempt SFS scholars from paying any tuition and fees unless such charges are optional or refundable.

Budget Preparation Instructions:

Scholarship Track

The duration of a Scholarship Track budget must be three years and should include stipends, tuition, and professional allowances for CyberAI students. The maximum award amount is $2,500,000.

Scholarships provide academic year stipends of $27,000 per year for undergraduate students and $37,000 per year for graduate students. CyberAI SFS scholarships cover expenses normally incurred by full-time students at the institution, including tuition and mandatory education-related fees. They do not cover items such as meal plans, housing, or parking. Each student also gets a professional allowance of $6,000 per academic year for participation in job fairs, other travel, conference fees, research materials, books, and supplies, including a one-time laptop purchase, professional training, certifications, etc. Funding for students' stipends, tuition, and education-related fees, and student professional allowances must be listed as Participant Support Costs in the NSF proposal budget (Line F on the NSF budget form and Field E on the Grants.gov budget). Detailed explanation of the use of the $6,000 professional allowance is not needed. Additional funds of up to $12,000 per student per year may be requested for activities in other direct cost categories (e.g., faculty and staff salaries, travel, materials, supplies, etc.) that contribute to the effectiveness of the project; any such costs must be listed under the proper NSF budget categories and must be explained in the Budget Justification.

Support for an individual student must not exceed three years. A typical project supports two cohorts of students with stipends, tuition, and allowances. The first-year cohort may include students receiving two or three years of support; the second-year cohort may include only students receiving two years of support. Although projects can request a No-Cost Extension at the end of the three-year award period, the cohort plan must ensure that every scholar will complete their program of study within a three-year period.

Innovation Track

An Innovation Track proposal can be up to three years in duration with an annual budget between $100,000 and $200,000. The maximum award amount is $500,000.
