We are pleased to announce that Messiah University has been awarded two grants totaling $300,000 this fall, further solidifying our commitment to excellence in cybersecurity education.
Cyber Service Academy (CSA) Grant
This program is designed to recruit the nation’s top cyber talent with the skills necessary to help secure our information systems and networks against emerging threats. Two of our students have been awarded these prestigious full-ride scholarships, which also include post-graduation employment opportunities. This award is a testament to our students’ academic excellence and the strength of our curriculum in addressing critical needs in the cyber workforce.
National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C) Capacity Building Grant
The second grant, funded by the NCAE-C program (within the NSA), focuses on capacity building, enabling us to scale and enhance our cybersecurity programs. With this funding, we will provide new resources for our cybersecurity lab and range, equipping students with hands-on learning opportunities in areas such as IoT security, forensics, and incident response. This capacity building award will strengthen our ability to train future cybersecurity professionals and contribute to securing the digital future.
