Mississippi State University is honored to lead a partnership of three universities – MSU, Augusta and Clark Atlanta (VICEROY Southeastern Cohort - VSEC) as part of a national level effort to improve our nation’s cyber workforce.
VICEROY Scholars Program is made possible through an award from the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate in partnership with Griffiss Institute and the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense.
VICEROY Scholars Program is not a scholarship. VICEROY is an incentive-based program. Students accepted into the program are incentivized to participate in cyber education and experiential learning opportunities.
VICEROY Scholars Program pays accepted Scholars to cover costs related to obtaining industry recognized cybersecurity certifications (e.g. CompTIA Security+) and experiential learning opportunities. Furthermore, VICEROY offers incentives for students to publish cybersecurity research, participate in experiential learning opportunities, and learn defense-critical languages (Chinese and Russian).
VICEROY Scholars Program is open to Mississippi State University students (both undergraduate and graduate) who are U.S. Citizens and permanent residents and are interested in service to national security.
If accepted to be a VICEROY scholar, students will sign a commitment agreement stating they will actively participate in the program. However, recipients are NOT obligated to any government service commitment.
