The Department of Defense Cyber Service Academy (DoD CSA) is a scholarship and professional development program aimed at strengthening the DoD’s cyber workforce by recruiting new talent and retaining skilled personnel. Administered through grants to accredited U.S. institutions designated as National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-Cs), the program provides funding for full-time scholarships in cyber-related disciplines for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Grant applicants must be in good standing with the NCAE-C Program Office and comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Scholarships are available for students at various academic levels, including: - Second-year community college students transitioning to a bachelor’s program at an NCAE-C institution - Individuals with non-cyber degrees pursuing an associate’s degree in cybersecurity - Juniors and seniors in bachelor’s programs (sophomores advancing to junior status in Fall 2025 are eligible) - First- or second-year master’s students - Doctoral students

DoD civilians and active duty military personnel are eligible for the retention program but must be nominated by their respective DoD components.
