                                    S. 754
                Cyber Scholarship Opportunities Act of 2017

 As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
                                on August 2, 2017


SUMMARY

S. 754 would authorize the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) to develop and implement a pilot program at between 5 to
10 community colleges to provide scholarships to eligible students pursuing an
associate's degree in cybersecurity under the CyberCorps Scholarship-for-Service
(CyberCorps SFS) program. The bill also would permanently extend support for
cybersecurity education in primary and secondary schools, modify the evaluation and
reporting requirements for the CyberCorps SFS program, and require the NSF and OPM
to develop and maintain online resources for prospective scholarship recipients.

Based on information provided by the NSF on existing program costs, CBO estimates
that implementing S. 754 would cost $6 million over the 2018-2022 period; such
spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.

CBO estimates that enacting S. 754 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

S. 754 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or
tribal governments.
