I'm 95% sure i will not go through the program as it will overlap with the start of my doctorate. I was really hoping to accommodate it this year. Oh well! -

According to the email 10,000 students have been admitted until July of 2018. I do not think that their infrastructure can take everyone simultaneously.
.... this is not the 1st time I have been admitted. At least this program does not come with a free jacket that ties in the back. -

You are at my group. After reading the posts here I also had to go and rechecked the year lol
I'm also in this group. Looks like it'll be a snug fit with it and GCIH happening at the same time, but can't complain! -

Your approximate starting date is September 24, 2017 and the end date is December 24, 2017
Wow! The email came on time! Good work Cisco.
So the dates of cohorts so far in this thread are:
Current cohort November 2016 to late Jan/ early Feb?
2nd? cohort to early March??? - not sure about this since it doesn't seem like it will fit 90 days between 1st cohort and the March 15 start date.
March 15 - June 15, 2017
June 20 - September 20, 2017
September 24 - December 24, 2017
December 28 2017 - March 28, 2018
April 2 - July 2, 2018
July 6 - October 6, 2018
It looks like the limiting factor on the program is the availability of mentors ie actual humans to help with study.2017 Goals - Something Cisco, Something Linux, Agile PM -

Hey,
Mail was on time and I am in the June 20, 2017 cohort. If anyone is interested we can make a study group or something. Good luck to all. -

Me too... I'm hoping that I'll be wrapping up my grad program when this cohort starts though.
I wonder if we should start individual cohort threads in one of the sub-forums? That way we can all get to know one another ahead of time, and perhaps start a course of study ahead of time.Graduated Carnegie Mellon University MSIT: Information Security & Assurance Currently Reading Books on TensorFlow -

Just received:
"Your approximate starting date is September 24, 2017 and the end date is December 24, 2017."
Seems I'm the only one in this cohort so far :P
You are not alone, I'm in this cohort too.

From the Cisco forums:
You should visit this website Support Home Page Support Home Page, login using your account information (if you don't have one, create one).Click on *Contact Certification Support* provide your personal info, type your issue then at +Product+ select Cybersecurity Scholarship Program. Typically the support responds within a day.

That was my initial reaction too then I thought about it for a minute. It's only a year and a few months away so it should fly by pretty quickly if 2017 is anything like 2016 was. Congrats.
Anyone else besides us accepted for this cohort?“I do not seek answers, but rather to understand the question.” -

That's where I am. Funny enough I missed the email the first time it was sent and had been eyeballing the CCNA Security, so at the moment I'm taking CCENT though Cisco's ondemand platform. Trying to finish it before the CCNA Cyber Ops now. -
