The Department of Defense (DoD) offers the Cyber Service Academy (CSA) Scholarship Program, which provides full tuition and support for students pursuing degrees in cybersecurity, in exchange for service in the DoD or Intelligence Community after graduation.

This scholarship program is designed to attract top students into the critically important field of cybersecurity. It covers not only full tuition but also provides stipends for housing and educational expenses and offers students valuable internships and training opportunities with DoD. Upon graduation, students are required to serve in a cybersecurity role within DoD or the Intelligence Community, helping to protect our nation from ever-evolving cyber threats.

In order to apply for this program, students must attend a college or university that is designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C), a designation that indicates the institution meets the rigorous standards required to educate the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.

The basic requirements for the CSA Scholarship Program include:

• U.S. Citizenship
• Enrollment at a NCAE-C-designated institution in a program related to cybersecurity, information assurance, or computer science
• You must have completed the first year of an associate’s degree; or the first two years of an undergraduate degree program; or be pursuing a master’s degree or doctoral studies
• A strong academic record and a commitment to serving the country after graduation

I encourage you and your staff to inform students about this exceptional program and its requirements early in their high school careers so that they are aware of the NCAE-C requirement when choosing where to apply for college. By planning ahead and selecting the right institutions, your students can pursue this opportunity once in college and help protect our country while receiving a world-class education, fully funded by the Department of Defense.

Please consider hosting information sessions, sharing materials, or reaching out to students and families to spread the word about the CSA Scholarship Program. I am confident that students at your school have the talent and ambition needed to succeed in this program, and I hope that more of them will seize this opportunity.  Linked here is a one-pager about the CSA Scholarship Program and a list of all eligible NCAE-C designated schools.

The HOBY Seminar will now be held June 6th - June 8th.

 

Thank you
