Empowering the Next Generation of the Digital Trust Workforce
IT audit, risk, cybersecurity, governance, and assurance are quickly becoming some of the most important industries to safeguard, but there is a talent gap that continues to spread as needs increase. The ISACA Foundation (previously known as One In Tech) provides scholarships to bridge this gap through equipping the next-generation professionals with essential resources.
Our Impact
Since 2022, we have awarded over US$1.5 million to 800+ students from over 30 countries. These scholarships support outstanding students within the tech space, creating academic and professional pathways, which ultimately culminate in IT- and cyber-related careers.
Awardees receive funds to support their higher education and an ISACA Career Building Bundle to connect with a network of IT/IS professionals, help prepare for certifications, and benefit from mentorship.
