$450,000 grant will send Washington State University Everett students to Sweden

EVERETT – Washington State University Everett is participating in a cybersecurity research program, partnered with a Swedish institute and funded by a three-year, $450,000 grant.

The first seven-student cohort from the Everett, Tri-Cities and Pullman campuses will spend their spring quarter at Sweden’s Linköping University in 2026, a press release said. The grant also allows two more cohorts in 2027 and 2028.

Students will receive a $12,000 fellowship to conduct cybersecurity research, including threat detection, artificial intelligence and privacy-protection features for systems in healthcare, self-driving vehicles and smart cities.

The initiative supports WSU Everett’s goal to prepare students for a globalized society and the multinational companies that operate in Snohomish County.
