RUSTON, La. (KNOE) – The National Science Foundation has awarded Louisiana Tech University a 4 million dollar renewal grant through their Cybercorps Scholarship For Service Program.
The grant will fund thirty six undergraduate and graduate students with tuition, professional development travel, and a monthly stipend. Students involved in the program must pursue degrees in computer science or cyber engineering with a cybersecurity focus in the College of Engineering and Science at Louisiana Tech.
The SFS program gives students hands-on experience using virtual reality and artificial intelligence tools in labs. Once students complete their degree program they are expected to secure jobs with the federal government.
” Our goal is to support students by giving them the tools they need to succeed. Students are expected to secure jobs with the federal government after completing their degree so we give them a chance to begin the job application process by traveling as far as Washington to job fairs,” says the Associate Professor of Computer Science at Louisiana Tech University, Dr. William Bradley Glisson.
Louisiana Tech University is one of two programs in the state of Louisiana to offer a program like this.
