Last chance to apply for the CyberFirst University Bursary!

What do you call a STEM student on a £4,000 annual bursary, with summer work experience and a prospective tech role after graduation?
You might call them lucky. We call them cyberists.
And if you’re a first year STEM student at a UK university, or you’re thinking of applying to university next year, then you could become one of them.
The CyberFirst University Bursary Scheme – inspired and led by the NCSC, a part of GCHQ – is a comprehensive programme covering three stages of your career:
1.
University: You’ll receive an annual £4,000 bursary throughout your degree.
2.
Each summer: You’ll carry out work experience with cyber security teams in government or industry, for which you’ll be paid £250 per week.
3.  
After graduation: At the end of all that, we’ll aim to place you in a graduate-level cyber security role.
It’s the kind of package most students envy – a tech career crammed with potential and the chance to make the most of your degree.
So how do we pick our cyberists? You don’t have to be a programming genius, but you’ll need to have a good understanding of how computers work and how to secure them. As a UK national, you’ll be a first year STEM student at a UK university, or looking to secure a place next year. You’ll also have, or be predicted, three A-Levels (or equivalent) at grade B or above.
So, who are the STEM students on the CyberFirst University Bursary scheme?
Well, they could be you, actually.
But hurry – applications close on 20th November!
