It’s more important than ever to find ways to reduce college costs.
If you’re looking for financial aid,
start with scholarships at the
schools you are interested in at-
tending. These are usually the most
generous. But there are also numerous
cybersecurity scholarships from many
sources, such as non-profits, founda-
tions, institutions, government organi-
zations, and corporations. Did you know
that many available scholarships go un-
used? So apply for as many as you can!
Websites for almost all government
agencies include details on scholar-
ships generally, as well as partnerships
with non-profits and professional orga-
nizations, such as Women Who Code.
These organizations often have part-
nerships with universities and private
employers for scholarships, paid intern-
ships, or both. The National Society of
Black Engineers, the Society of
Hispanic Professional Engineers,
and the Society of Women Engineers
all offer scholarships.
Ask your high school guidance
counselor to help you. In the meantime,
here’s a good list to get you started.
Note that some scholarships require
government service in return for the
award.
