Success Story
One Scholarship. One Certification. One Career Changed.
When Acacia Frett set her sights on a career in cybersecurity, she had the determination — but not all the resources. Through the support of CyberAware Initiative, Acacia received assistance to earn her CompTIA Security+ certification, one of the industry's most recognized credentials.
That certification became more than a certificate — it became a gateway to new opportunities and a career in cybersecurity.
“CyberAware Initiative believed in me before I had the opportunity to prove myself. Their support helped me earn my Security+ certification and gave me the confidence to pursue a career in cybersecurity. I'm grateful for everyone who invested in my future.”
You Can Help Create the Next Success Story
Whether you volunteer as a mentor, teach a workshop, donate equipment, sponsor an exam voucher, or contribute financially, your support gives someone else the chance to begin a cybersecurity career. The next Security+, CySA+, CISSP, or cloud security professional is waiting for someone to believe in them.
Share your expertise. Change a life. Strengthen our industry.
Every Contribution Counts
Together, we can build a Vermont that's prepared to defend against any digital threat.
