Employer sponsorship
Be the business that believes in a smarter, safer tomorrow.
Smart business moves start with investing in talent.
Our people are our biggest assets, and right now, the cybersecurity industry is in desperate need of highly skilled experts that will defend our physical and digital world.
Contribute to a smarter, safer tomorrow by giving students a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to develop their cyber potential through a National Cyber Scholarship.
Champion the next generation of cybersecurity leaders
Employers can partner with The National Cyber Scholarship and inspire the next generation of cyber professionals. As a scholarship sponsor, you’ll help bridge the cyber skills gap and open doors that might not otherwise be possible.
We invite industry to sponsor scholarships for talented students who would benefit from professional cybersecurity training.
Corporations can fund scholarship awards for specific student groups, including children of their employees, specific geographic areas, underserved populations, and more.
The NCS Foundation is also interested in forming partnerships to help funnel top performers into existing scholarship programs offered by employers.
Scholarships help today’s students become tomorrow’s cyber leaders
NCS alumni have gone on to secure highly respected industry roles, while supporting the wider community with future-forward tech projects too:
