Texas governor Greg Abbott recently issued a press release about Texas’ partnership with the SANS Institute on an exciting program called Cyber Fast Track.  Cyber Fast Track is a free and unique three-stage program that will help college students discover if they have what it takes to make a difference in cybersecurity. This all-inclusive program, which starts in April 2019, will provide students with everything they need to build their knowledge of the foundations of cybersecurity. Once they have proven excellence in those foundations, they can move on to master forensics, intrusion detection, security operations, system and network penetration testing and application penetration testing. Designed by world-leaders in the field of cybersecurity, this program provides an unprecedented opportunity for students to fast track their career in cybersecurity. 

Students who excel in all aspects of the program will be awarded scholarships to advanced cybersecurity courses and industry-respected certifications from the SANS Institute, a leader in cybersecurity education and research. Students who score well but do not win full scholarships will be included in a drawing for 200 scholarships of $500 each to use at their colleges.  Students can learn more about the program at
