Department of War Cyber Service Academy (DoW CSA)
The Department of War (DoW) Cyber Service Academy (CSA) (formerly the Department of Defense Cyber Scholarship Program) is both a scholarship program for the DoW, and a capacity building tool for the nation. The program is a result of commitment from DoW and Congress to support higher education as a means to prepare the DoW workforce to deal with threats against the Department鈥檚 critical information system and networks.
Given our increasing reliance on cyber, information technology (IT), the growing threats to information, and information systems and infrastructures, it is critical that the DoW protect itself. To do so, the DoW must be staffed with technically savvy personnel. To help achieve this task, the DoW CSA was established. The DoW CSA is sponsored and administered by the DoW Chief Information Officer. The objectives of the program are to promote higher education in all disciplines of cyber, to enhance the Department鈥檚 ability to recruit and retain cyber and IT specialists, to increase the number of military and civilian personnel in the DoW with this expertise, and ultimately, to enhance the nation鈥檚 cyber posture.
Recruitment Scholarships (Non-DoW Employees):
As a recruitment tool, the DoW CSA sponsors students who currently are not DoW or
government employees who are enrolled in validated cyber programs of studies at designated
institutions. Following graduation, students are eligible for full-time employment
with various components and agencies across the DoW. Students are required to work
for the DoW a minimum of one year for each year of scholarship support they receive.
The student application consists of two parts. Part 1 gathers background information (e.g., institution, contact information). Upon successful completion of Part 1, applicants will be presented with the link to Part 2. Part 2 focuses on cyber experience (e.g., coursework, knowledge, skills, and abilities).
