The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking proposals from National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C) for the DoD Cyber Service Academy (DoD CSA) program. The purpose is to support the recruitment of new cyber talent and retention of current professionals within the DoD cyber workforce. NCAE-C institutions can submit proposals for developing full-time, grant-funded scholarship programs in cyber-related disciplines for Academic Year 2024-2025. Proposals will be evaluated based on the institution's approach to recruitment, promotion strategies, alignment with DoD mission needs, and cost reasonableness. Key dates include intent to participate by January 31, 2025, and application submissions due by February 28, 2025 through Grants.gov.
The DoD CSA program provides scholarship funding ranging from $25,000 for new community college/undergraduate students to $34,000 for graduate students. Grants may also include modest collateral support for institutional capacity building activities like faculty development, laboratory improvements, and curriculum development. Eligible students include rising second-year community college students, individuals with non-cyber degrees, college juniors/seniors, and master's or doctoral students.
