College students from across northern Ohio are invited to apply to the 2025 FBI Cleveland Collegiate Academy.

Held on-site at FBI Cleveland headquarters, 1501 Lakeside Ave., Cleveland, the one-day immersive academy will be held May 2.

It will offer students a glimpse into the FBI. Participants will hear from special agents and professional staff about cyber threats, weapons of mass destruction, criminal behavior, and investigating and solving cases. There will also hear from the SWAT team, the evidence response team, and learn about career opportunities.

The Collegiate Academy is free. Students must be a U.S. Citizen, enrolled in a college or university as a sophomore, junior or, senior, or be enrolled in a graduate program, and carry a current 3.0 cumulative GPA, regardless of major or area of study. Students must also pass a limited background check.
