HUNTINGTON — Jacqueline Brown, a Marshall University senior, has received a National Defense Education Program SMART (Science, Mathematics and Research for Transformation) Scholarship. As part of the program, Brown will participate in a summer internship at a Department of Defense facility and receive civilian job placement after graduation with the Department of Defense, in addition to a stipend and scholarship.
A computer and information security major, Brown is active in research, community service and leadership, according to a news release from the university. She is a computer science leadership program leader, and also works as a NASA West Virginia Space Grant Consortium undergraduate student fellowship researcher, where she researches Collusive Interest Flood attacks.

Wael Zatar, dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Sciences, says Brown is the kind of hard worker that deserves an opportunity like this one.
"I have had the absolute pleasure to have several wonderful interactions with Jack over the past couple of years and she continues to impress me with her talent, devotion, love of computer science and cybersecurity, and persistence to reach to the top," Zatar said. “I am so proud of Jack’s unique achievement, look forward to hearing lots of positive updates and trust she will be able to make all her dreams come true."
The SMART Scholarship is awarded to students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines who demonstrate an interest in working for the federal government.
