Cyber Skills Center

The TCC Cyber Skills Center is committed to ensuring diversity by supporting initiatives that promote the inclusiveness of marginalized groups. The 30 fully-funded tuition awards in the Cybersecurity or Data program are a part of that commitment.

To be eligible for a fully-funded award, you must be 18 years or older and a resident of the Tulsa Metro Area (Tulsa, Osage, Wagoner, Creek, and Okmulgee). However, TCC especially encourages Tulsans from diverse cultural, racial, and socio-economic backgrounds — as well as from underrepresented groups — to apply, as funding awards decisions will be impact-driven.

The application starts with confirmation that you are eligible for the funding award. Once you have confirmed your eligibility in Good Grants, you will then be asked to provide detailed demographic information such as your name, address, gender, age, race, ethnicity, household size and income, citizenship, education level, employment status, disability status, veteran status, and criminal record. You will also be asked to share your resume, details related to your career path, and why you are applying for the program and funding award.

The Cyber Skills Center, in partnership with Retrain Tulsa, will help provide you access to childcare, transportation, career-readiness supper, and any required equipment for the course.

All classes are held virtually/online, however, if you are selected for funding, you will be expected to attend occasional mandatory in-person events at the Tulsa Community College campus.

Yes. The program is designed for working individuals who are actively pursuing a career change or advancement. The part-time schedule allows you to continue working while advancing your skills. In addition to the classroom hours (9 hours per week), you can expect to devote 20 or more hours per week to your homework assignments.

If you will be working full-time while in the program, we recommend that you confirm your work schedule will allow for you to attend classes regularly and take advantage of the academic resources available for you to be successful in the program. You may only miss up to 4 class sessions in order to receive a certificate of completion for the course.

Once you’re enrolled, students can visit the Student Life Office to obtain their TCC campus ID. Your enrollment agreement will be required as proof of enrollment to get your ID.

We hold a number of development and celebratory events throughout the course of the program. Some of these will be optional. Those considered required include the Kick Off to celebrate the start of class and Graduation at the conclusion.
