UMBC's Cyber Scholars Program is geared towards preparing the next generation of cybersecurity professionals in an increasingly digital age. The program was launched through a generous grant from the Northrop Grumman Foundation and in partnership with the Center for Women in Technology (CWIT). All students who meet the program requirements are invited to apply for an opportunity to become a scholar. Applicants are required to submit their cyber application and essay. Submission of two letters of recommendation is optional. Students may visit the scholarship's website or contact the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships for more information.
