Description:

The ISACA Foundation (previously known as One In Tech) issues global academic scholarships to provide funding and career-building resources for students pursuing digital trust-related degrees.

Volunteers will review all applications and score them based on established metrics. Learn more about the scholarships offered in this cycle.:
