The S&K Scholarship supports a new generation of engineers in an inclusive environment that breaks down barriers that have historically led to the underrepresentation of women and minorities in STEM. This scholarship is awarded to a selection of students who demonstrate financial need, academic merit, and a commitment to engaging with the cybersecurity community.
The NYU Cyber Fellows Homepage has more information regarding how to apply for a S&K Scholarship. You can also email online.scholarships@nyu.edu.
The S&K Scholarship is awarded twice a year, during the Spring and Fall semesters.
The S&K Scholarship is privately funded by Sabrina and Omkhar.
The S&K Scholarship is available to anyone enrolled in the NYU Cyber Fellows program at NYU Tandon. As the purpose of the scholarship is to help address underrepresentation in cybersecurity, we strongly encourage those who identify as women and/or those who have been historically underrepresented to apply.
