Mississippi College awarded $723,000 Mississippi AI Talent Accelerator Program grant | Mississippi College | Mississippi College Posted Monday, June 16, 2025 Mississippi College awarded $723,000 Mississippi AI Talent Accelerator Program grant Mississippi College has been awarded a $723,000 Mississippi AI Talent Accelerator Program (MAI-TAP) grant to launch the Center for AI Policy and Technology Leadership (CAPTL), an initiative between the MC School of Law and the MC School of Business.
CAPTL's mission is to drive responsible and innovative AI use across sectors—serving college students, professionals, policymakers, and industry leaders across Mississippi.
Governor Tate Reeves recently announced more than $9 million in grants to higher education institutions through MAI-TAP , a bold new initiative designed to expand AI, machine learning, and digital infrastructure capacity across Mississippi’s colleges and universities. MAI-TAP represents a partnership between AccelerateMS, the Mississippi Development Authority and Amazon Web Services.
CAPTL will launch innovative academic programs and outreach initiatives offered through the MC School of Law, training professionals on the ethical and legal implications of emerging AI technology. The initiative is dedicated to advancing the responsible and innovative use of artificial intelligence across multiple sectors.
“This grant enables Mississippi College to lead in providing essential AI-focused legal education,” said Dr. Blake Thompson, MC president. “By equipping students and legal professionals with the tools and skills to navigate a rapidly evolving landscape, we’re ensuring Mississippi is at the forefront of advancing ethically grounded artificial intelligence education.
“I am grateful for the Governor’s leadership in this space. Mississippi is becoming a national leader in artificial intelligence and machine learning. ” With the grant funding, the MC School of Law will launch a 12-hour certificate and a 6-hour microcredential to ensure Mississippi’s future and current lawyers have the knowledge needed to thrive in an AI-enabled world.
Mississippi College’s grant will also leverage a private matching gift to establish an endowment providing long-term sustainability for the CAPTL program. The endowment will support the creation of two endowed professorships – one in the MC School of Law and one in the MC School of Business.
CAPTL will be located in downtown Jackson at the MC School of Law, while the business school faculty will be located on MC's main campus in Clinton. By housing CAPTL within the law school, the program gains a unique platform and presence, in proximity to Mississippi’s legal epicenter.
“This grant affirms Mississippi College’s role as a leader in shaping the future of AI education and policy in our state,” said Dr. Michael J. Highfield, provost and executive vice president at MC.
“Through CAPTL, we’re creating a space where legal insight, business strategy, and technological innovation converge to equip leaders to navigate the opportunities and challenges of AI with integrity, wisdom and purpose. ” MAI-TAP will stimulate the development of workforce programs that address the skill development demands of the artificial intelligence sector.
In addition to MC, participating institutions are Alcorn State University, Belhaven University, Jackson State University, Millsaps College, Mississippi State University, University of Southern Mississippi and Tougaloo College.

The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve.
