About the Scholarship:
The OSINT Foundation, the professional association for Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) practitioners who support the U.S. Intelligence Community, announces its inaugural scholarship award. The mission of the Foundation is to promote open-source intelligence tradecraft, elevate the discipline, and develop the practitioner community to advance the national security of the United States by becoming the focal point for professional certification, thought leadership, and recognition of excellence in OSINT. 

The Foundation offers two $3,000 academic scholarships to a current undergraduate student in a B.A. or B.S. regionally accredited program who is interested in open-source and desires to work in a national security field.  We also offer an additional $3,000 scholarship to a current or prospective graduate student in regionally accredited masters or doctorate program who is a current member of the OSINT Foundation.

Each scholarship applicant will be vetted by a panel consisting of the OSINT Foundation President and Operations Director and members of the Foundation’s Awards Committee. The Scholarship Award will be paid directly to the respective college/ university to be applied to tuition fees.
