2015-2016 Scholarships for Women Studying Information Security (SWSIS)
Applications Due February 15, 2015


"Since 2011, Applied Computer Security Associates, sponsor of the ACSAC and NSPW conferences, has offered scholarships for women in
security-related undergraduate and masters' degree programs through the Scholarships for Women Studying Information Security 
(SWSIS, www.swsis.org).

Thanks to a $250,000 4-year contribution by Hewlett-Packard company in early 2014, ACSA expanded our program to award 11 scholarships for the 2014-15 academic year. The Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W), an arm of the Computing Research Association, led selection of scholarship winners.  Information about the 11 SWSIS Scholars (scholarship winners) is available at www.swsis.org.

ACSA, CRA-W, and HP are pleased to announce that applications for 2015-16 scholarships are open Dec 15 2014 - Feb 15 2015.

To apply, an applicant must provide:
* An essay describing her interest and background in the information
security field.
* A current transcript.
* A resume or CV.
* At least two letters of reference (typically from faculty members).
* Her university name and class status.

The scholarship is renewable for a second year subject to availability of funds, given proof of satisfactory academic progress.  Preference is
for US citizens or permanent residents; funds are available for use at any U.S. campus of a U.S. university.

About Time! .... I'm Back!

  Time Flies!!  It has been a while since my last post!  I have been so busy with work and teaching that I haven't had a chance to write. Unfortunately, Blogger is not making it easy anymore!  I cannot longer post from my iPhone unless I pay for the app.  That's not cool!  I'm considering moving my blog to another blog site (preferably a free blogging site). I'm not sure which one to select.  Perhaps, you can provide some recommendations. Here are some of the blogs I'm looking at: Wix Yola Weebly Medium Ghost Joomla WordPress.com Tumblr WordPress  (self-hosted) etc... You can also find me in: Twitter:   @Mirkeya Instagram:  @DrMirkeya Look forward to your recommendations!!
