SEC launched its scholarship agenda to inspire and support next-generation providers
The SEC launched its scholarship program to encourage and support next-generation providers at its partner academic institutions, which are recognized for excellent programs in security, risk, and intelligence.
Each $2,500 scholarship is awarded after consideration by the SEC Scholarship Committee made up of SEC staff, successful former and current security practitioners, and university faculty.
“Kennesaw State University and the Institute for Cybersecurity Workforce Development (ICWD) are very appreciative of this generous gift. Thanks to the SEC for this financial support for one of our best and brightest students," said Dr. Michael Whitman, Executive Director of the ICWD, adding "Joshua, in being chosen by the SEC selection committee for the second consecutive year, has demonstrated excellence in his academic studies. He is on his way to a successful career in Cybersecurity.”
