Field UpdatedAug 6, 2026 at 1:05 PM

Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Education Innovation and Scholarship for Service (CyberAI SFS)

**Title Change:** The program name expanded from "CyberAICorps Scholarship for Service" to "Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Education Innovation and Scholarship for Service (CyberAI SFS)" — reflecting a broader focus on AI and cybersecurity education innovation, not just scholarships. **Eligibility Description:** The substantive eligibility criteria (who may submit proposals and who may serve as PI) remain **unchanged**. The modifications are purely **formatting and HTML cleanup** — removing HTML tags (`<ul>`, `<li>`, `<span>`) and converting them to plain text while preserving all original content and meaning. **What Matters for Applicants:** - The program scope has expanded conceptually to emphasize **AI and cybersecurity education innovation** alongside scholarships - **No changes to actual eligibility rules** — same restrictions on community colleges, PI qualifications, and international branch campus rules apply - The cleaner formatting may improve readability but does not alter requirements
