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.”
— Acacia Frett, Security+ Recipient
