This bill proposes amendments to the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014, specifically targeting improvements to the Federal Cyber Scholarship for Service Program . The primary changes involve modifying the terms and conditions for scholarship recipients. One key provision extends the mandatory federal service commitment for individuals receiving the scholarship from the current three years to five years . This aims to secure a longer period of service from trained cybersecurity professionals within the federal government. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the full amount of loans provided under the program will be covered. This ensures that these scholarships are not subject to limitations imposed by Part D of Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, thereby providing more comprehensive financial support to participants.
