Victor Griswold of Civil Air Patrol's Colorado Springs Cadet Squadron was designated a "Cyber All-American" at the CyberPatriot National Finals Competition awards banquet. He earned the distinction based on his having been a member of a national finalist team for all four of his high school years.

"We are thrilled to join with other sponsors in celebrating this life-changing event for the CyberPatriot VIII National Finalists," said Diane Miller, CyberPatriot Program Director, Northrop Grumman.   The world is anxiously awaiting these students, whose accomplishments are distinguishing themselves on their road to success.   CyberPatriot is one of the most impactful STEM programs of our time and I look forward to an even bigger competition next year."

Northrop Grumman awarded a total of $50,500 to winners of CyberPatriot VIII, bringing the total amount it has awarded in CyberPatriot scholarships to $300,000.

The CyberPatriot VIII competition season began in October 2015 with more than 3,300 teams registered, a 55% increase from the previous year, with each team being made up of two to six students. After two months of rigorous online challenges, the Open Division and All Service Division teams were divided into three tiers: Platinum, Gold and Silver. The teams continued to compete within their tiers for state awards and advancement to the Regional/Category Round, but only teams in the Platinum tier, the top tier, were eligible to advance to National Finals Competition.

CyberPatriot, an education initiative established by the Air Force Association and presented by the Northrop Grumman Foundation, is a one-of-a-kind cyber defense competition designed to inspire students toward futures in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Other program supporters include Cyber Diamond sponsors AT&T Federal and the AT&T Foundation, Cisco, Microsoft, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense; Cyber Gold sponsors Facebook, Riverside Research, Splunk, and Symantec; and Cyber Silver sponsors Air Force Reserve, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Leidos, and University of Maryland University College.
