Digital Responsibility in Higher Education
As of 2024, 144 countries have enacted data privacy laws, impacting 82% of the global population. The demands on the professionals navigating these privacy regulations are growing—with 63% of organizations now tasking their privacy teams with AI governance according to IAPP’s Organizational Digital Governance Report 2024 report.
For 25 years, the IAPP has led the evolving privacy profession—expanding its mission, products, and services to meet growing demands in AI governance, cybersecurity law, and digital responsibility. As these fields grow more complex, so does the need for skilled professionals.
To meet this need, the IAPP has an on-ramp to the profession by supporting and connecting with students across disciplines and geographies who have an interest in privacy, AI governance and digital responsibility.
Individual student and professor offerings
Discounted IAPP memberships are available to individual students and professors focused on privacy, AI governance, cybersecurity, or digital responsibility.
IAPP Higher Education Program
The Higher Education Program focuses on supporting students' professional development and providing students with access to our resources. This is done in three primary ways: student discounts, the Westin School Program, and event scholarships.
Student Discounts
The IAPP will now offer a single-use student discount that can be used directly in the IAPP Store on CIPP/E, CIPP/C, CIPP/US, CIPT, and CIPM materials.
For more information, please contact membership@iapp.org.

Event Scholarships
The IAPP offers multiple opportunities for students to attend our conferences, including our two annual scholarships, the Andy Serwin Scholarship to the IAPP’s Global Privacy Summit and the IAPP’s Privacy. Security. Risk, and our new AirBnb Scholarship to the IAPP’s Global Privacy Summit.

The growing need for privacy professionals requires a detailed assessment of the curricula taught on this subject in U.S. law schools. Privacy law is a constantly expanding legal field with a wide range of potential topics suitable for inclusion in a privacy-focused course. This report, published by the IAPP in collaboration with the Cordell Institute at Washington University in St. Louis, aims to present an overview of privacy education in U.S. law schools over the past year to understand how privacy is currently taught and to help inform future curriculum development.
