Why is the SFS program important to the federal, state, and city agencies?
The SFS program is important to the federal, state, and city agencies because it helps them obtain the talent they need to protect their information systems. Upon graduation, participants must serve at a federal, state, or city agency for a period equivalent to the length of the scholarship or one year, whichever is longer. This service must be in a position concerned with information assurance. During their period of federal, state, or city service, participants join the agency’s cadre of professionals that protect its critical information systems infrastructure.
