Google Cybersecurity Clinics

Applications are now open for grants from the Google Cybersecurity Clinics Fund! Grants will support the establishment and growth of cybersecurity clinics within U.S.-based higher education institutions, including 2-year and 4-year colleges and universities across the country. 

Cybersecurity clinics train students from diverse backgrounds to strengthen the digital defenses of under-resourced organizations. Students work with clients on real cases and gain practical, hands-on learning in the process. Clinics address two needs simultaneously: building cybersecurity capacity in their communities and training the next generation of cybersecurity talent.

Selected organizations will receive six-year grants of up to $1M in funding, and they will be offered student access to the Google Cybersecurity Certificate, Google Titan Security Keys, and mentorship opportunities from Google volunteers. Additionally, selected organizations will be extended membership into the Consortium of Cybersecurity Clinics, where they will have access to public interest cybersecurity curriculum and mentorship from existing clinics. 

Tides Center will be accepting applications through March 1, 2024. Learn more and start your application today through the Google Cybersecurity Clinics Fund website.
