Donate to support the National Cyber Scholarship Foundation
The NCS Foundation welcomes donations to support the next generation of cybersecurity stars.
Champion the next generation of cybersecurity leaders
The Foundation welcomes and gratefully receives donations of any size, from a small contribution to the general scholarship fund (every little helps!), to a recurring sponsorship of numerous full college scholarships. One-off donations, regular contributions via direct debit, or legacy giving arrangements are all equally viable methods of offering financial support to the future of cybersecurity talent.
Any donations can be added to the general National Cyber Scholarship fund, or can target specific demographics by geography, underrepresented group, or other public need.
Contributing to the work of the NCS Foundation will enable the US to continue supporting and developing the necessary talent protect our country’s infrastructure in these ever-changing times.
The Alan Paller Memorial Scholarship Fund
We mourn the passing of our visionary leader, Alan Paller. We are grateful for, and remain deeply committed to his life's work of inspiring young people to train for productive careers that will help keep the nation safe.
Alan started the National Cyber Scholarship Foundation to change the perception of who can be a cyber star. Your donation makes it possible for the Foundation to continue to open doors to as many young people as possible, offering them free access to the hands-on training that employers and the nation needs for the future.
Your donation honors his legacy; his dedication to the mission, to young people, and to the country. Funds raised will support the mission and the Foundation's partner organizations.
The Board of Directors and the Paller family are grateful for these acknowledgements of his life’s work.
“Alan was a man of honor, character and integrity like no other I have met. There are no words to adequately describe the impact that Alan had on my life and my career in cybersecurity. The 30 years of mentorship, friendship and partnership we shared truly changed the trajectory and the altitude of what I have accomplished. Yet, I was just one of tens of thousands of people that he impacted, and I am eternally grateful for all the years of friendship and partnership. My colleagues on the Foundation Board and I are committed to carrying on his legacy to find, encourage and empower the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.”
