ISACA Foundation Opens Second Cycle of 2026 Scholarship Applications

The second cycle of applications for the ISACA Foundation’s 2026 scholarships is now open. The ISACA Foundation offers scholarships designed to support students who may not have traditionally had access to opportunities in the technology industry, creating academic and professional pathways to careers in tech. 

The ISACA Foundation has awarded more than US$1.5 million in scholarships to over 800 students since 2022, including 229 students last year. More than half (51 percent) of scholarship recipients identify as women, and 41% are first-generation students.

Scholarship recipients receive funds for higher education and an ISACA Career Building Bundle, connecting students with the global ISACA community, including access to certification preparation resources and professional networks). New this year, recipients will also be able to participate in an ISACA mentorship cohort designed for students.

ISACA chapters and corporate supporters worldwide have helped the Foundation expand its global reach, increasing global representation to 41 countries worldwide this year.

Applications for the second cycle close on 3 November 2026, and students interested in applying can explore a variety of scholarships at https://isaca.secure-platform.com/a/page/ISACAfoundation/aboutscholarships. To learn more about how you can support the program, visit www.isaca.org/foundation.
