    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. ;)

    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.

    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.

    Cool, I have more time to study for other things than I planned for. Can't really complain about a free program.

    Yup. I'm in the December 2017 cohort too. Good timing for me.

    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.

    That would be a good idea. Probably in the CCNA Security sub-forum.

    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.

    Thanks OctalDump!! I opened a case with Cisco... I will keep you guys posted on the results.

    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?

    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.
