As part of a new CyberCorps: Scholarship for Service program, the Information Assurance Center at Hampton University through the Hampton University Graduate Education and Training Scholarships in Information Assurance (HU GETS-IA) program is supporting at least 19 students to earn Masters of Science degree in Information Assurance. This project enhances underrepresented minority and women students' understanding of Information Assurance to prepare them for the nation's workforce at a more competitive level; and significantly expands the department Information Assurance research capacity and teaching experience by offering a rigorous cybersecurity course curriculum coupled with mentorship and required professional development activities to the student population. A unique feature of this program is that students are serving as program ambassadors at high school recruiting events and are mentoring K-12 students in the Virginia Junior Academy of Science. Additionally, students are participating in the Hampton University annual Information Assurance Symposium and the annual Association of Computer/Information Sciences and Engineering Departments at Minority Institutions (ADMI) Symposium. HU works with its partners, Spelman College, Winston Salem State University, Elizabeth State University and other HBCU institutions, to recruit highly-qualified computing students with interest in cybersecurity into HU GETS-IA program.

作为新的网络兵团：服务奖学金计划的一部分，汉普顿大学信息保障中心通过汉普顿大学信息保障研究生教育和培训奖学金(HU GETS-IA)计划支持至少19名学生获得信息保障理学硕士学位。该项目加强了少数族裔和女性学生对信息保障的了解，使他们在更具竞争力的水平上为国家劳动力做好准备；并通过向学生群体提供严格的网络安全课程课程以及导师和必要的专业发展活动，大大扩展了信息保障系的研究能力和教学经验。该计划的一个独特之处是，学生在高中招生活动中担任计划大使，并指导弗吉尼亚初级科学院的K-12学生。此外，学生们还参加了汉普顿大学年度信息保障研讨会和少数民族院校计算机/信息科学和工程系协会(ADMI)年度研讨会。HU与其合作伙伴斯佩尔曼学院、温斯顿·塞勒姆州立大学、伊丽莎白州立大学和其他HBCU机构合作，将对网络安全感兴趣的高素质计算专业学生招入HU GET-IA项目。
