SANS Institute and NSU to Offer Cybersecurity Training and Certifications

Twenty students will be selected to attend the new scholarship academy in 2021 through a partnership between the SANS Institute and NSU.

SANS Institute, the largest provider of cybersecurity training and certification in the world, is pleased to announce our second SANS+HBCU Cyber Academy in conjunction with Norfolk State University (NSU) in Norfolk, Va.

As the largest Historically Black College and University (HBCU) in the Commonwealth of Virginia and one of the most affordable institutions in their region, NSU has been chosen by SANS for this program that helps level the playing field and provides HBCU students direct access to industry-leading training and certifications for free.

  • Pre-determined SANS courseware
  • GIAC Certification attempts
  • Current and future SANS Summits 
  • SANS Subject-Matter Expert support 
  • Private Slack channel for communication, collaboration, and questions

“We are elated to be announcing the partnership between Norfolk State University and the SANS+HBCU Committee. Establishing this partnership will serve as a foundational stepping stone for providing essential resources and support for NSU students of color looking to achieve success in the cyber space. Creating a bridge to diversify and spotlight black talent in the cyberspace has been a personal goal of mine and building this partnership broadens the horizon for years to come. Welcome Norfolk State University to the SANS+HBCU Family.” 

– Monisha Bush, Media Partnership Coordinator- SANS+HBCU

The SANS+HBCU committee focuses the deep resources of SANS on creating a bridge to diversify cybersecurity with innovative black talent from Historically Black Colleges and Universities through partnership, training, certification, resources, advocacy, and mentorship.
