Cybersecurity Public Service Scholarship Award

The Cybersecurity Public Service Scholarship Award, administered by the Maryland Higher Education Commission, supports students pursuing careers in cybersecurity. To apply, students must complete the appropriate financial aid application. United States citizens and eligible non-citizens should submit the FAFSA to be considered for this state funding. Undocumented students are also eligible to apply for this scholarship using the MHEC One App, which is completed online through the Maryland College Aid Processing Portal. To qualify, undocumented applicants must meet the specific non-resident tuition exemption requirements outlined under Maryland state education law. Male applicants between the ages of 18 and 25 are generally required to register with the Selective Service System and provide proof of registration to receive state financial aid. The application must be completed by the established deadline for the specific program. Recipients must log into their online portal to accept the award within two weeks of notification, or the offer will be canceled.
