PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
The National Security Agency (NSA) is concerned over the declining percentage of American citizens taking degrees from U.S. graduate schools in areas of mathematics most strongly identified among individuals with cryptology. The NSA grant program seeks to stimulate developments in the field of cryptography and make careers in these fields of mathematics more attractive to Americans and to make NSA known as a possible employer of such mathematicians.
