Scholarship applicants must meet all requirements for acceptance to the specific institution they plan to attend. To continue the development of a strong foundation for recruitment scholarship program during the Academic Year 2025-2026, students falling into one of the following categories may apply: Rising second-year NCAE-C Community College students who will be transitioning into a bachelor’s degree program at a 4-year NCAE-C; Current individuals who hold a non-cyber related bachelor’s or graduate degree, cross training into cyber by pursuing an associate’s degree; Juniors or Seniors pursuing a bachelor's degree (Sophomore's promoting to a Junior in Fall 2025 are eligible to apply); Students in their first or second year of a master's degree; or Students pursuing doctoral degrees. Traditional National Guardsmen and reservists are eligible to apply under the recruitment program. Current DoD civilians and active duty military members are only eligible for the retention program. DoD civilian employees are eligible to apply, but must first be nominated by their Component. Nominated personnel shall be high performing employees who are rated at the higher levels of the applicable performance appraisal system and demonstrate sustained quality performance with the potential for increased responsibilities.
