More $$ For Women Studying Cybersecurity
Not enough women are in cybersecurity. So Applied Computer Security Associates, which sponsors research conferences, is expanding its 3-year-old scholarship program for women studying information security. It includes a $250k commitment from HP and help from the Computing Research Association in choosing winners. Scholarships range from $5k to $10k and go up to $20k over a two-year period for women studying for their B.S., and M.S. degrees. ACSA scholarship programs director Jeremy Epstein says cybersecurity is rapidly changing and it’s crucial to have diverse perspectives and problem-solving skills. (Don't worry, the actual scholarships are more than $40.)
