What is SRA?
Security Risk Advisors is committed to unique and diverse perspectives, especially for those who have been traditionally underrepresented and unemployed in the cybersecurity field. Driven by this commitment, they have set up a fund that will provide $5000 scholarships to learners who qualify. This scholarship can also be stacked with the GCI’s other scholarship offerings, meaning that some learners could potentially not pay anything out of pocket for this one-of-a-kind program.
We are deeply committed to building a diverse cybersecurity workforce. Diversity can take many forms, but we know that a team’s cognitive diversity is a primary indicator of performance. And it’s clear that cybersecurity requires top-performing teams.
Also, we believe that creating better career opportunities for underrepresentedpopulations is just the right thing to do. With all that in mind, we offer thesescholarships to those who might not normally consider a career in cybersecurity.
