Cybersecurity Clinics Grant Program Act
HR 8770, the Cybersecurity Clinics Grant Program Act, establishes a federal grant program to fund cybersecurity education at eligible institutions including junior/community colleges, HBCUs, HSIs, and other minority-serving colleges. The program requires grantees to develop hands-on workshops for students and communities, create practical cybersecurity curricula, and build student career pathways into the cybersecurity workforce. It directly supports under-resourced organizations like small businesses, local governments, and critical infrastructure providers by helping them improve their cyber defenses. The grant program will be administered by CISA and FEMA, with annual reports tracking fund use and graduate workforce placements.
