To qualify, college students from across the United States are invited to take part in a two-day Capture-the-Flag competition. If you prove yourself by landing among the top scorers, you’ll be invited to apply for a full scholarship to the accredited Undergraduate Certificate in Applied Cyber Security program. Those who enter the program will learn everything they’ll need to launch a successful cybersecurity career by taking four highly-in-demand SANS immersion courses and earning three industry-recognized GIAC certifications. And it will all be for free!

At least 60 college scholarships will be available in our next competition on September 15-17, 2020! You too can check out this opportunity at https://cyber-fasttrack.org/.
