  1. Yes, there are programs by dexterpexter · · Score: 4, Informative

    The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Defense (DoD) already sponsor Scholarship For Service (SFS) programs like the Cyber Corps to train students in aspects of cyber security with the intention of placing them in government information assurance positions.

    And many colleges are developing Centers for Information Security (CIS), and among those, that is where you see the government encouraging these programs.

    The tag line, I believe, is "Defending America's Cyberspace."

    More information on the SFS program can be found here:
