College of Engineering and Science announces cyber security scholarships

Louisiana Tech University’s College of Engineering and Science will award six students with a CyberCorps Scholarship for Service (SFS) for the 2020-21 academic year. Raven Alexander (cyber engineering), Jack Foil (cyber engineering), Colton Gann (what does a computer engineer do), Jacoby Johnson (computer science), Michael Levesque (cyber engineering) and Jason Marxsen (computer science) will receive the award beginning next fall.

The scholarship includes tuition, cost-of-living stipends, health insurance, professional development reimbursements, an allowance for books, a resume-building class, and the opportunity to participate in internships in cyber-related fields with government entities. Next year’s recipients will be Louisiana Tech’s third cohort and will bring the total number of awardees to 17. These students exemplify the commitment to academic excellence and service to the community.

The CyberCorps SFS program is funded by a $3.5 million grant awarded by the National Science Foundation. It provides students with funding and experience, to prepare future cybersecurity professionals for entry into the government workforce. All CyberCorps SFS awardees make a commitment to a career in cybersecurity for the United States government.
