Scholarships Through BlackBerry

Scholarships for Women in CLIC

With women holding only about 25% of cybersecurity roles worldwide, it’s clear there is significant work to do to close the gender gap in cybersecurity. The Catalyst is deeply committed to helping close this disparity in the industry. 

Thanks to our partners, RBC and Rogers Communications, we are offering a limited number of $5,000 scholarships to women enrolling in CLIC.
