Note: In 2026, there are two Scholarship Track competitions:
Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 competition with a target date of April 3, 2026; and FY
2027 competition with a deadline date of July 21, 2026. Proposals submitted
after the target date will still be accepted, although if they miss FY 2026
panel dates, they will be considered for FY 2027 funding. Proposals submitted
after July 21 will not be accepted.

Government and the nation face a talent shortfall in
artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity. The CyberAICorps Scholarship
for Service (CyberAI SFS) program welcomes proposals that address AI and
cybersecurity education and workforce development. CyberAI refers to using AI
in cybersecurity as well as providing security and resilience for AI systems.

The Scholarship Track provides funding to establish, or to
continue, scholarship for service programs with integrated AI and cybersecurity
components (CyberAI). Scholarship recipients must be U.S. citizens or lawful
permanent residents and work after graduation in the AI or cybersecurity
mission of a government organization for a period of at least the length of the
scholarship.

Anticipated Funding Amount: $300,000 to $2,500,000

Range shown is per award pending availability of funds.
Award sizes are subject to the availability of funds and quality of proposals
submitted. The maximum award amount is  $2,500,000 for the Scholarship Track.

Cost Sharing Requirements: Inclusion of voluntary committed cost sharing is prohibited.

Limitation on number of proposals: For the Scholarship Track, each performing organization is
limited to one (1) proposal submitted for the same competition date.
Institutions with an active CyberAI SFS scholarship project must wait until
they are within 14 months of the current award's expected end date before
submitting a new proposal.
