Cyber PIVOTT Act of 2025
This bill establishes the PIVOTT Program to build a cybersecurity workforce by providing full tuition scholarships for students at community colleges and technical schools pursuing cybersecurity or cyber-relevant associate's degrees. Students must complete a 2-year service obligation in cybersecurity roles after graduation, with exceptions for military service, and must participate in skills-based exercises like hackathons and labs. The program requires participating institutions to offer these training components and coordinate internships with government agencies, including critical infrastructure entities and Federal departments. CISA will coordinate implementation with enrollment targets of 250 students in the first year, growing to 10,000 annually within 10 years.
