Scholarships and Student Organizations
Scholarship for Service (SFS) is a unique program designed to increase and
strengthen the cadre of federal information assurance professionals that
protect the government's critical information infrastructure. This program
provides scholarships that fully fund the typical costs that students pay for
books, tuition, and room and board while attending an approved institution of
higher learning. The scholarships are funded through grants awarded by the
National Science Foundation. Each year or partial year of scholarship benefits
incurs a one-year government service obligation. More information can be found

VICEROY is a mission-focused cyber-spectrum leadership development pathway,
accelerating talent through foundational skills, experiential learning, and
operational application. VICEROY’s goal is to increase the number of new and
upskilled mission-capable professionals available to fill critical
cyber-spectrum research and operations positions within the DoD and vital
industries and contribute on Day One. Unlike the Scholarship for Service
program, VICEROY scholars are not obligated to government service. Rather, the
program incentivizes participants to participate in cyber education and
experiential learning opportunities, such as earning cybersecurity
certifications. More information can be found
