Gillibrand announces expanded scholarship program for prospective government cyber employees

Sen. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand announced on Tuesday the expansion of a program that will provide free college tuition to 1,000 students, provided they serve the government in a cyber-related discipline after their education. 

The Cyber Service Academy scholarship program comes as part of the recently-passed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), and offers spots at 20 schools in New York State (including six in the Big Apple).
