EWF FELLOWSHIPS

An important goal of the Executive Women’s Forum is to provide opportunities for women to develop their careers in the field of technology risk management in an environment that enriches their lives and the lives around them.

Toward that end, EWF has partnered with the Information Networking Institute (INI) and Carnegie Mellon CyLab to offer a full tuition scholarship for their Master of Science in Information Security Technology and Management (MSISTM) program. These scholarships will be offered each year to students from historically underrepresented populations in the area of information networking and security, including women.

For more information on the scholarship and to apply, visit the INI website.
