We are proud to introduce the 2026 Trusted CI Scholars, a group of talented undergraduate and graduate students committed to securing our digital future: Bennie Ferguson, Simon Araneda, Nolan Koch, Waratchaya Luangphairin, and Jessica Wooley.
The Trusted CI Scholars Program is more than just a training initiative; it is a gateway for emerging cybersecurity professionals to immerse themselves in the frontlines of digital defense. By providing hands-on experience and direct mentorship from the nation’s leading cybersecurity experts, we aim to equip these students with the tools necessary to build a secure and resilient digital ecosystem.
Please join us in welcoming our 2026 Trusted CI Scholars.
From May through October, our scholars will engage in a rigorous curriculum designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and professional practice. The program includes bi-monthly webinars led by cybersecurity experts, along with opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, and applied learning.
