The nature of the cybersecurity threat to America is growing and our nation’s cyber adversaries move with speed and stealth. In alignment with the Department of Homeland Security’s Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2020-2024, it is imperative to not only secure cyberspace and critical infrastructure (Goal 3), but also strengthen the security and resilience of critical infrastructure (Objective 3. 2).
We must, therefore, support the educational development of cybersecurity talent needed to participate as members of the security community working to ensure a safe and secure nation. Section 2220 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (codified as amended at 6 U.S.C. § 665f) establishes a Cybersecurity Education and Training Assistance Program within CISA.
The purpose of the CETAP is to support the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) efforts in building and strengthening a national cybersecurity workforce pipeline capacity through enabling elementary and secondary cybersecurity education, including by providing foundational cybersecurity awareness and literacy, encouraging cybersecurity career exploration, and supporting the teaching of cybersecurity skills at the elementary and secondary education levels.
To fund these cybersecurity and infrastructure security education and training programs and initiatives, Section 2220 authorizes CISA to award financial assistance in the form of cooperative agreements and grants to carry out the purposes of the CETAP and enhance CETAP to address the national shortfalls of cybersecurity professionals.
To accomplish the stated goals in Section 2220, CISA seeks to provide financial assistance under the FY 2023 CETAP through up to two cooperative agreements for non-federal entities to develop cybersecurity curriculum and professional development opportunities focused on K-12 students and their educators, administrators, and caregivers and engage in outreach efforts to increase cybersecurity awareness within that K-12 community.

Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Education Innovation and Scholarship for Service (CyberAI SFS) - Scholarship Track is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program funds academic institutions to award scholarships to students in AI and cybersecurity. Recipients must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents and agree to work in the AI or cybersecurity mission of a government organization for a period at least equal to the scholarship length.
Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Education Innovation and Scholarship for Service (CyberAI SFS) is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program addresses the talent shortfall in artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity by welcoming proposals that focus on AI and cybersecurity education and workforce development. It includes a Scholarship Track to establish or continue scholarship-for-service programs with integrated AI and cybersecurity components, and an Innovation Track to support projects that enhance the preparation of AI and/or cybersecurity professionals. CyberAI refers to using AI in cybersecurity as well as providing security and resilience for AI systems.
The NSF CyberAICorps Scholarship for Service (CyberAI SFS) program is a new solicitation (NSF 26-503) that combines AI and cybersecurity education and workforce development into a unified program. It replaces the prior CyberCorps SFS program with expanded AI focus, reflecting the critical intersection of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. The program has two tracks: the Scholarship Track supports institutions in providing scholarships to students pursuing AI and cybersecurity careers in government service, with student stipends of $27,000/year (undergraduate) or $37,000/year (graduate), plus tuition and professional development allowances. Recipients commit to government service equal to the length of their scholarship. The Innovation Track funds transformative educational projects developing new curricula, instructional materials, professional development programs, experiential learning, and communities of practice in AI and cybersecurity. The program reflects the growing national need for professionals who understand both AI systems and cybersecurity, including using AI for cybersecurity defense and securing AI systems themselves. Two scholarship track competitions run in 2026: FY2026 (April 3 target) and FY2027 (July 21 hard deadline).
