The CAE-2Y Program is open to current regionally accredited two-year community colleges, technical schools, state or federally endorsed Cybersecurity training centers or U.S. Government Cybersecurity training centers. All institutions must hold current regional accreditation as outlined by the Department of Education (http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation).
Qualifying applicants will be designated as CAE-2Y for a period of five academic years, after which they must successfully re-apply in order to retain the designation. Designation as a CAE-2Y does not carry a commitment of funding from NSA or DHS. CAE institutions with designations that will expire in 2018 must submit no later than 15 January 2018 and are not required to submit this checklist.
Contact the Program Office at askcaeiae@nsa.gov for further information.
I acknowledge that I have been given the opportunity to receive application assistance and work with a mentor to complete my application for possible designation as a NSA/DHS National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education. I understand that this process is an opportunity to receive program development and application assistance prior to submitting an application. I acknowledge that if my application does not meet requirements, the assistance of a mentor is a requirement to submit an application in a future cycle. If at any time I require Application Assistance I may complete the new applicant checklist and request assistance with the understanding that it may move my submission to a subsequent cycle.
