Bill > HR494

This bill amends the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 to improve the Federal Cyber Scholarship for Service Program by making two key changes. First, it extends the program's duration from 3 years to 5 years, which will provide students with a longer scholarship period. Second, the bill modifies loan-related provisions to ensure that the full amount of a loan described in the original act can be forgiven, regardless of any other limitations imposed by existing higher education loan regulations. This change means that participants in the Cyber Scholarship for Service Program will have greater financial support and flexibility in managing their educational loans. The program is designed to recruit and train cybersecurity professionals who will work in government agencies, helping to address the critical shortage of skilled cybersecurity experts in the public sector.
