MICROSOFT CYBERSECURITY SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The US has a cybersecurity workforce shortage of nearly 500,000 trained professionals, yet only 3% of US students attain a credential in computer and information sciences and far fewer specialize in cybersecurity. The Last Mile Education Fund and Microsoft are working together to address the diversity and talent shortages in the cybersecurity workforce by investing in students like you.

The Microsoft Cybersecurity Scholarship Program supports community college degree and industry certificate completion through financial assistance (up to $500) and subsidies for cybersecurity certification exam costs (up to $375). Financial assistance is intended to cover short-term basic needs, such as food, rent, health-related, transportation/car issues, and/or a laptop/device.

"I was so excited to start the journey of my college career, but every semester was a struggle to meet the funds as I hastily applied for scholarships. The FELDCO Windows, Sliding and Doors Scholarship finally allowed me to get through this semester, without being overly stressed about money."
