Idaho LAUNCH

Approval pending — not currently available

CDTI plans to pursue approval as an eligible Idaho LAUNCH workforce-training provider. CDTI and the Cyber Defense Operations Program are not currently approved for Idaho LAUNCH funding.

Students cannot use Idaho LAUNCH funding at CDTI unless official approval is received.

CDTI Community Opportunity Scholarship

One full-tuition scholarship awarded each year

Cyber Defense Technology Institute plans to provide one annual scholarship to a qualifying applicant who demonstrates financial hardship and a strong commitment to completing cybersecurity training.

The scholarship is intended for applicants who cannot afford tuition and who do not qualify for sufficient assistance through workforce funding, Idaho LAUNCH, employer assistance, or other available resources.

The selected student must meet CDTI’s admission requirements, attend the required class schedule, and remain in good academic and attendance standing.

Inquire with the instructor how to apply when you set up an in-person tour of the school.
