Information Security Grants

The Department of War Cyber Service Academy was established in accordance with provisions of Chapter 112, "Cyber Scholarship Program," of title 10, United States Code, added by Public Law 106-398, The National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2001. The purpose of the program is to recruit and retain qualified cyber talent within the DoW by offering merit-based scholarships to students in exchange for a period of obligated service upon graduation. Academic institutions may nominate current undergraduate or graduate students who are pursuing a cyber-related degree for scholarship consideration. Current DoW Components/Agencies may nominate their permanent civilians or active-duty military members to pursue a cyber-related degree at partnering institutions. These institutions may also apply for modest support for building their capacity for the expansion of cyber education.
