Iowa State University has been selected by the National Science Foundation to receive $3.7 million in grants to support the CyberCorps Scholarship for Service program. The program offers scholarships to students studying cybersecurity who commit to working for public entities. ISU plans to use the grants to provide full-tuition scholarships over five years to 24 students pursuing a master’s degree in cybersecurity. Doug Jacobson, director of Iowa State’s Center for Cybersecurity Innovation and Outreach, will lead the CyberCorps program at ISU. Iowa State offered the program for 20 years and stepped away to develop its undergraduate cybersecurity engineering major. An Iowa State spokesperson said in a statement that the university is working to understand the effect of President Donald Trump’s order to pause federal funding, which was temporarily blocked by a federal judge Tuesday. “Iowa State University is working with its federal partners to clarify and understand how the temporary pause of agency grant, loan, and other financial assistance will impact the university and its students, as well as federal research projects,” the spokesperson said in an email. “It does not appear this decision will affect Pell Grants and student loans. The Office of the Vice President for Research and the Vice President for Extension and Outreach are working to support researchers and staff with federally funded projects, until the federal government provides additional detail.” The National Science Foundation has cancelled its review panels for new grant awards, NPR reported Monday.
