Security professionals are in high demand in all areas of industry, especially within the federal government. Scholarships for cyber security, homeland security, intelligence, international security, and national security are all available from private and government agencies. The government sponsors security studies scholarships because they want to attract the top talent to the field, while private security firms and organizations often sponsor scholarships to improve the industry overall.
There is plenty of flexibility when applying to scholarships for security majors. Scholarships may request a specific specialization or allow students to only state they are enrolling in a general security degree program. However, since distance learning is becoming exceptionally popular, many organizations are imposing fewer restrictions on how student earns his or their degree.
The scholarships below are featured by Security Degree Hub as a service to students. We do not sponsor any scholarship and make no claims to their legitimacy. Information is accurate at the time of publishing. Scholarships are presented in alphabetical order by title.

What Kinds of Organizations Sponsor Scholarships for Security Studies?
One of the top recruitment agencies for security studies graduates is the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. As part of receiving security studies scholarships from government agencies, the student may have to fulfill certain requirements. For instance, graduate-level security studies scholarships may have a clause that asks for an employment contract for a set amount of time like a five-year minimum. Graduates who don’t fulfill the terms may be asked to repay the security studies scholarships back.
Homeland security scholarships will be offered through the federal government and will involve tuition aid to students who currently work or plan to work for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Homeland security scholarships are offered to students who are studying topics related to law enforcement, intelligence, forensics, and much more. A national security scholarship will be geared to a student who is planning to enter a counter-terrorism job. Intelligence and national security scholarships will be appropriate for those interested in a job with an agency such as the FBI or CIA.
Although the government sponsors a number of intelligence and national security scholarships, colleges will also have their own opportunities for security studies students. Private organizations have scholarships for cyber security because data protection is an issue that affects all businesses. Scholarships for cyber security will be available to both undergraduate and graduate students. Depending on the program, the award may be given based on financial status, merit, cultural background, and professional affiliations.
Can International Students Apply for Cybersecurity Scholarships?
In the majority of cases, cyber security scholarships for international students are possible. As long as the student is planning to study through an accredited program in the United States, he or she may be eligible for funding. Cyber security scholarships for international students may be available for both distance learning programs or a semester abroad at an American university. Students will want to check all citizenship requirements before submitting any applications for cyber security scholarships.
The United States may be the best choice for international students who are comparing programs. The United States has hundreds of colleges and universities with some of the best cyber security degree programs in the world. Many of the top-ranked colleges for cyber security are found stateside. Highly ranked college degree programs in cyber security are available from Purdue University, the University of Maryland, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of Pittsburgh. The post-graduation job placement rate for students from these colleges in the cyber security field is exceptionally high.
Federal scholarships will have very specific criteria for applications. The government may have residency and citizenship pre-requisites and also look for applicants that can demonstrate financial need. Merit-based security studies scholarships will involve the student submitting transcripts to show past GPA and test score data. Essays are a typical requisite when filling out scholarship applications.
Most essay topics will ask the student to outline career goals and objectives. The federal government will mandate that any scholarship money be used in a security studies program from an accredited college or university. An example of a federal government security scholarship is the CyberCorps. This particular scholarship was created as a way to recruit professionals to cyber security jobs.
Are Scholarships Just for Traditional Students?
Scholarships are being broadened to include all types of matriculating students. Although cyber security scholarships for high school seniors are offered, funding is available to individuals at the mid-point or later of their careers. Cyber security scholarships for high school seniors are used for an accredited degree program from a four-year college. Cyber security undergraduate scholarships will not likely distinguish between students who attend a traditional program, a hybrid program, or a distance learning program.
Businesses may have a scholarship program for workers who need to earn a master’s level degree or higher in cyber security. Graduate-level scholarships for cyber security will likely require a proposal submission with applications. The scholarship board will look at academic records and confirm enrollment in a cyber security degree program. Women, veterans, and minorities are examples of groups that may be eligible for certain cyber security undergraduate and graduate scholarships. Prospective students need to read through each scholarship application to determine if they meet the specific requirements.
