(ISC)² Cybersecurity Scholarship Opportunities – Open Now!

Dec 08, 2021

(ISC)² is now accepting applications for its 2022 Women’s Cybersecurity Scholarships, Undergraduate Cybersecurity Scholarships and Graduate Cybersecurity Scholarships. More than $100,000 in scholarships will be awarded in 2022. Applicants are evaluated based on academic excellence, passion for the industry and financial need. They are reviewed by volunteer (ISC)² members. If you are a member interested in participating and earning CPE credits, send an email to center@isc2.org.

These scholarships are part of an effort to bridge the cybersecurity workforce gap—which stands at 2.72 million needed professionals—by providing future cybersecurity professionals across the globe with scholarships to prepare them for a rewarding career in this important field. “Supporting young talent with their educational studies is one of many methods to widen the pipeline of candidates interested in cybersecurity careers,” said Tara Wisniewski, EVP, Advocacy, Global Markets and Member Engagement, (ISC)². “The industry urgently needs more diverse perspectives and fresh talent to tackle the challenges of today and tomorrow. With the (ISC)² scholarships, we want to create more opportunities for individuals who are historically underrepresented in cybersecurity and inspire more young people to pursue a career in cybersecurity.”
