Growth and Enhancement of the Scholarship for Service Program at Mississippi State University

密西西比州立大学(MSU)是2001/2004/2007/2012年度信息保障教育(CAE)学术卓越中心的获得者，也是CyberCorps(R)：服务奖学金(SFS)的参与者，自2002年以来，该大学继续以每年约10名新SFS学生的速度为政府培养SFS学生。该项目在五年的时间里支持六个技术学科之一的大约39名学生(17名本科生，20名硕士学生和2名博士生)。该计划继续由与密歇根州立大学信息保障计划关系最密切的人员专业组织和管理。该计划继续受益于美国司法部、美国国防部和美国国家科学基金会提供的1900万美元的研究资金，因为在该计划下资助的每个学生都需要参与一次研究体验。密歇根州立大学继续与其他中国科学院、其他大学、社区学院和执法机构保持密切的工作关系。密歇根州立大学的毕业生在政府部门工作很成功，新的奖学金获得者受到更多政府雇主的追捧。密歇根州立大学在与渴望有能力运营奖学金计划的学校建立牢固关系方面有着良好的记录。他们已经与几所HBCU合作，包括杰克逊州立大学、密西西比山谷州立大学和塔斯基吉大学，以及其他学校，如南阿拉巴马大学、德克萨斯大学泰勒分校和圣克劳德州立大学。该项目继续这项工作，以确保更多的学校建立信息技术课程，能够提供毕业生来帮助填补网络安全劳动力。

Mississippi State University (MSU), a 2001/2004/2007/2012 Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAE) recipient and a CyberCorps(R): Scholarship for Service (SFS) participating university since 2002 continues to produce SFS students for the government at a rate of approximately 10 new SFS students a year. This project supports approximately 39 students in one of six technical disciplines over a five year period (17 undergraduates, 20 M.S. students, and 2 PhD students). This program continues to be professionally organized and administered by those most closely associated with the Information Assurance program at MSU. The program continues to benefit from over $19M research funding from DOJ, DOD and NSF as each student funded under this initiative is required to participate in a research experience. MSU continues a strong working relationship with other CAEs, other universities, community colleges, and the law enforcement community. MSU graduates are successful in government service and new scholarship recipients are sought after by additional government employers. MSU has a strong track record of building strong relationships with schools aspiring to be capable of running a scholarship program. They have partnered with several HBCUs including Jackson State University, Mississippi Valley State University, and Tuskegee University, as well as other schools, such as the University of South Alabama, the University of Texas at Tyler, and Saint Cloud State University. This project continues that work to ensure that more schools build IA programs that can provide graduates to help fill the cybersecurity workforce.
