encouraged to enable the broadest possible participation in these programs by providing support
services.
The NCWCG will coordinate an effort with government, academic, and private sector partners to
encourage the development of culturally connected, in-language education content. This should
include exploring the role of community, faith-based, and service organizations in the development
of this content.
2.4.3
Increase the participation of students and teachers in cyber scholarship programs.
The NCWCG will coordinate efforts across departments and agencies to leverage scholarships and
other programs to reduce the financial burden on cyber learners. Departments and agencies will
explore providing incentives in grants for colleges and universities to include scholarships and
wraparound services in cyber education programs. The CyberCorps Scholarship For Service will
continue to support undergraduate and graduate students pursuing teaching and other careers in
cybersecurity. Non-profit and philanthropic organizations are encouraged to increase the availability
of scholarships that support participation in cyber education and training programs by communities
underrepresented in the cyber workforce.
2.4.4
Incorporate cyber instruction into public programs that serve local communities.
Governments are encouraged to leverage services provided through public programs at libraries,
museums, faith-based, Tribal, and community organizations, military installations, and federal
extension programs to improve access to cyber education for those underrepresented in the cyber
workforce.
