The SANS team thanks you for your dedicated service to our country!
We are committed to helping our veterans transition into rewarding cybersecurity careers. The demand is high and growing for qualified cybersecurity professionals. In 2015, we launched the first VetSuccess Academy, a 100% scholarship-based program for veterans that are within six months of separation or that transitioned out within the last five years, in an effort to help veterans with a passion and aptitude for cybersecurity deploy into the cybersecurity workforce and fill vital positions. The VetSuccess program is a 3-to-5 month immersive program where students take up to three advanced technical courses and earn the associated GIAC certifications.

The VetSuccess Academy has provided over 350 veterans with cybersecurity training since 2015, with a goal of training another 100 in 2020! Continue to protect your country on the new battlefield, cybersecurity. If you are interested in a career in cybersecurity, consider the SANS VetSuccess Immersion Academy.
