tigerman · October 2017

So I recently went back to school to finish my associate degree in cybersecurity and ultimately get my bachelor's degree completed in cybersecurity. Knowing how big of a topic cybersecurity is out their, I currently looking for all the cybersecurity grants and or scholarships out there one can apply for towards a cybersecurity degree.

You could always try to get into a company that offers education benefits. I believe SANS also has something if you were military, and work study options.

National Science Foundation (NSF) Scholarship for Service (SFS) pays full tuition, books, a living stipend, and provides professional development money (certifications & conferences) for cybersecurity majors at participating universities (https://www.sfs.opm.gov/ContactsPI.aspx). The only catch is students who participate in this program must work for the federal government (or local/state/county/tribal government) in paid cyber security positions for 2-3 years (period equivalent to the length of the scholarship) after graduation. Awards are between $50-80k per student.
If you live near a participating university and want to know more, I may be of help.
