Here is a funding opportunity for undergrad or graduate students.

I contacted them to ask who would be a good candidate, because I didn't understand any of the description...he said [emphasis is mine]:
Thanks for following up. You inspired me to start an FAQ section at https://sciauth.org/fellows/ . Yes, I think computer science students with an interest/focus in cybersecurity are the primary target, though I want to be open to interested students from any background -- for example, students in sociology and library science also do really interesting cybersecurity work that could make for a good fellows project.

So, note in the FAQ, you do not have to know what a JSON Web Token is.  If you have any interest at all, you can email them and they will give you some ideas about potential projects.

The 'full consideration' due date is October 4th, but also say candidates are selected 'on a rolling fashion'.  They sent a reminder for this today, so they are hoping to get more applicants.

Subject: [ctsc-discuss-l] now accepting applications for SciAuth Student Fellows
To: ctsc-discuss-l@list.indiana.[redacted] < ctsc-discuss-l@list.indiana.[redacted] >

The NSF-funded SciAuth project is now accepting applications for the SciAuth student fellows program, which pairs students from U.S. higher education institutions with mentors to collaborate on 3-month, student-led projects on the topic of authorization for scientific collaborations using JSON Web Tokens. The program supports 6 student fellows per year, with an emphasis on recruiting student participants from under-represented communities.

Fellows are selected via a competitive application process according to the strength of the proposed project, the academic preparation of the student, and the diversity of the applicants. Fellows each receive a $1,000 stipend ($333.33 per month for 3 months) to support their research. For more information about the program and the application process, please visit https://sciauth.org/fellows/ and/or contact fellows@sciauth.[redacted] .
