CISA cancels summer internships for cyber scholarship students amid DHS funding lapse
CISA has canceled summer internships for the CyberCorps: Scholarship for Service program due to funding issues at the Department of Homeland Security. The program, managed by the NSF and OPM, provides cybersecurity and AI scholarships in exchange for federal service, but participants face disruptions amid budget cuts and hiring freezes. OPM plans to address the backlog with a deferment after the government shutdown resolves.
