We run educational outreach programs and have many educational partnerships that include a special emphasis on promoting mathematics and science education. Our Stokes Educational Scholarship Program is a unique opportunity for high school seniors planning to study computer science or computer or electrical engineering, and for college sophomores studying certain foreign languages, math, or other fields leading to a career in intelligence analysis. We also donate excess computers and laboratory equipment to non-profit educational institutions to support mathematics and science education.
