Please Note: This is not a degree program and this is not a cybersecurity degree.

Instead, this is a scholarship program providing support for students earning a degree in an academic program that will result in sufficient cybersecurity training to be hired into a governmental cybersecurity position. Applying for the scholarship is separate from applying for any academic program.
