Why choose to donate to the UMSA Scholarship Program?

The cybersecurity talent gap is an industry crisis. Every year, millions of cybersecurity positions go unfulfilled. In a world that grows increasingly dependent on technology, with increasing numbers of cyber security threats, that number is unacceptable. The UMSA Foundation’s Scholarship Program aims to change the scope of the cybersecurity industry, and you can help! With the funds raised through this campaign, we will provide educational resources to get younger generations into security.
