Buddha

Hamilton Southeastern High School sophomore Aryadeep Buddha has been named a finalist in the National Cyber Scholarship Competition.

In recognition of his achievement, Buddha earned an invitation to participate in the Cyber Foundations Academy – a multi-week online program based on the nationally recognized SANS Foundations training course and certification – valued at more than $3,000.

The National Cyber Scholarship Competition (NCSC) is a rigorous 48-hour online cybersecurity competition sponsored by The National Cyber Scholarship Foundation (NCSF). Qualifiers competed against over 5,000 other high school students in challenges such as solving computer security problems and capturing and defending computer systems. Qualifying for the competition is an excellent achievement within itself. In total, 50,000 students nationwide sought to qualify for the NCSC, with just 10 percent meeting the requirements.
