We are pleased to announce the availability of a limited number of scholarships to attend the EDUCAUSE & Internet2 Security Professionals Conference (www.educause.edu/sec05) in Washington, D.C., April 3-5, 2005. The scholarships, supported by the National Cyber Security Alliance (www.StaySafeOnline.info), will cover conference registration, 3 nights of hotel expenses, and an optional pre- or post-conference seminar registration. Expenses associated with travel to Washington, D.C., meals not included as part of the conference program, and other incidental expenses will be the responsibility of the scholarship recipient. To qualify, the recipient must be an employee with responsibilities for cybersecurity at a small college (5,000 students or less), community college, or a minority serving institution. To be considered for a scholarship, individuals must submit a proposal that includes a brief (500 words or less) essay that describes why your institution would benefit from your participation in the Security Professionals Conference. The proposals will be judged based on the level of need for financial assistance, cybersecurity needs of your institution, and projected impact to be realized as a result of your attendance at the conference. If you are interested in attending a pre- or post-conference seminar, please indicate your preferences in the proposal. Please submit your proposal to Security-Task-Force () educause edu by Monday, March 7th. Applicants will be notified on Wednesday, March 9th, of the status of their application. If you are selected, you will be expected to produce a brief report following the conference that describes your experiences and learnings which will be shared with members of the EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Computer and Network Security Task Force and the Board of the National Cyber Security Alliance. Please let me know if you have any questions. Rodney Petersen -------------------------------------------------- Rodney J.
