This $1,581,412 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports Louisiana Tech University's CyberCorps Scholarship for Service (SFS) program. The project will develop and graduate 36 qualified SFS students over 5 years, building on the university's existing cybersecurity curriculum and infrastructure. Key activities include recruiting students into the SFS program, establishing a student-operated Security Operations Center, and providing industry-based training and certifications. The project aligns with the U.S. National Cyber Strategy to develop a superior cybersecurity workforce, as SFS graduates are required to work in government cybersecurity roles for the same duration as their scholarship support. This grant award supports Louisiana Tech University's role as a leading provider of cybersecurity education and research services to federal agencies.
