CyberCorps: SFS: Hampton University Graduate Education and Training Scholarship in Information Assurance (HU GETS-IA) Program

作为一个新的CyberCorps的一部分：奖学金服务计划，信息保障中心在汉普顿大学通过汉普顿大学研究生教育和培训奖学金在信息保障（HU GETS-IA）计划是支持至少19名学生获得信息保障理学硕士学位。该项目增强了代表性不足的少数民族和女学生对信息保障的理解，使其为国家劳动力做好准备，更具竞争力;并通过提供严格的网络安全课程，以及导师和必要的专业发展活动，显着扩大了部门信息保障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，并在弗吉尼亚州少年科学院指导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机构计算机/信息科学与工程系年度协会（AIA）研讨会。HU与其合作伙伴Spelman College，Winston Salem州立大学，Elizabeth州立大学和其他HBCU机构合作，招募对网络安全感兴趣的高素质计算学生进入HU GETS-IA计划。

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.
