NEXT GENERATION CYBERSECURITY LEADER IMPACT FUND
The George Washington University College of Professional Studies (CPS) has proudly launched the Next Generation Cybersecurity Leader Impact Fund, an initiative designed to prepare and empower the diverse, innovative professionals our nation urgently needs to defend its digital infrastructure.
Every day, new and more sophisticated cyber threats emerge — challenging the resilience of governments, businesses, and individuals alike. At the George Washington University College of Professional Studies, our cybersecurity students are preparing to lead the defense — advancing the innovations, policies, and strategies that safeguard our nation’s critical infrastructure and digital ecosystems.
Your gift to the Next Generation Cybersecurity Leader Impact Fund strengthens this mission. These flexible resources empower students through scholarships, hands-on learning experiences, and applied research that address real-world challenges in cybersecurity strategy, governance, and technology.
Through this fund, donors open doors for students enrolling in CPS’s Bachelor’s Completion in Cybersecurity, Master’s in Cybersecurity Strategy and Information Management, and CyberForge Microcredentials on GW RevU. These learners, many of whom are working professionals, veterans, or career changers, gain access to GW’s cutting-edge cybersecurity curriculum, expert faculty, and deep connections across government and industry.
Together, we can equip the next generation of cyber defenders — professionals who will not only respond to today’s threats but anticipate and mitigate those of tomorrow. Make your gift today and help secure the future of our digital world.
PROTECT OUR FUTURE IMPACT FUND
The George Washington University College of Professional Studies (CPS) has proudly launched the Protect Our Future Impact Fund, a new initiative supporting the professionals who protect our nation’s people, communities, and critical infrastructure.
From disaster preparedness and emergency management to counterterrorism, intelligence analysis, resilience planning and CBRNE-WMD incident response, homeland security professionals safeguard the foundations of our society.
Yet, for many dedicated public servants, veterans, and emerging leaders, the cost of advanced education remains a barrier to developing the skills needed to meet today’s complex security challenges.
At the George Washington University College of Professional Studies, our homeland security students are building the knowledge and skills to meet those challenges head-on — safeguarding communities, informing policy, and leading with integrity in service to our nation.
Your contribution to the Protecting Our Future Fund supports this critical work by providing scholarships, experiential learning opportunities, and applied research support that prepare students for leadership roles across public service, defense, and emergency management.
Join us in advancing the next generation of homeland security professionals — and in building a safer, more resilient future for all.
All awards comply with GW’s institutional policies and federal financial aid regulations and are provided based on academic merit, financial need, and demonstrated commitment to advancing the cybersecurity and homeland security professions.
