The grant for MSU involvement in the CyberCorps Scholarship for Service program supports students studying cybersecurity in order to strengthen the government’s cybersecurity workforce.
The MSU project also involves supporting East Mississippi Community College (EMCC) students before they transfer and join the university’s program.
“Cybersecurity is an increasingly important component of our national security. Mississippi State has established itself by preparing students to be well-trained cybersecurity professionals,” Cochran said. “I am pleased the university has secured funding to continue this program for another five years.”
