Mississippi State University (MSU), a 2001 NSA Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAE/IAE) is administering a four-year Federal Cyber Service Scholarship for Service (SFS) program in collaboration with Jackson State University, a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) located within the State of Mississippi. MSU will also work with Tuskegee University to advance Tuskegee's IA program. The program is housed within the MSU College of Engineering by the Computer Science Department. The Department of Computer Science has a robust interdisciplinary information assurance research program, involving faculty from the areas of software engineering, artificial intelligence, and high performance computing (see http://www.cs.msstate.edu/~security). Intellectual merit. The MSU SFS program offers a multiyear build-up of the SFS scholarship program designed to increase the number of graduates entering the federal information assurance (IA) workforce, while at the same time extending the IA course offerings outside the current Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering student base to other departments and students across campus in the business school and social science disciplines. This expansion matches the evolution of the IA field and trains better prepared IA professionals.Broader impact. The collaboration between MSU and JSU is enhancing the IA curriculum at JSU by making additional courses and IA faculty available to JSU students, and by providing an opportunity for JSU students to become SFS scholars. The collaboration is helping to increase the diversity of the federal IA workforce.

密西西比州立大学（MSU）是2001年美国国家安全局信息保障教育学术卓越中心（CAE/IAE），与位于密西西比州的历史黑人学院或大学（HBCU）杰克逊州立大学合作，管理为期四年的联邦网络服务奖学金服务（SFS）计划。密歇根州立大学还将与塔斯基吉大学合作，推进塔斯基吉的IA计划。该计划由计算机科学系安置在MSU工程学院内。计算机科学系有一个强大的跨学科信息保障研究计划，涉及来自软件工程，人工智能和高性能计算领域的教师（见http：//www.cs.msstate.edu/security）。智力上的优点。MSU SFS计划提供SFS奖学金计划的多年积累，旨在增加进入联邦信息保障（IA）劳动力的毕业生数量，同时将IA课程扩展到当前计算机科学和电气与计算机工程学生基础之外的其他部门和学生在商学院和社会科学学科的校园。这种扩展与IA领域的发展相匹配，并培养准备更充分的IA专业人员。MSU和JSU之间的合作正在通过为JSU学生提供额外的课程和IA教师来加强JSU的IA课程，并为JSU学生提供成为SFS学者的机会。这种合作有助于增加联邦IA劳动力的多样性。
