Student Conferenceship Award

What is the Student Conferenceship Award?

ACSA is pleased to announce the availability of conferenceships enabling students to attend the Annual Computer Security Applications Conference. This program will pay for the conference for selected students. The students must be nominated by a faculty member at an accredited university or school, and must be full-time undergraduate or graduate students.

Conferenceships can be requested by any student and will be awarded to students that will get the most from ACSAC. Conferenceship awards will take the form of conference registration waivers, conference hotel lodging waivers, a travel grant, or some combination of the three. Our intent is to help as many students as possible based on need.

To be considered for the Conferenceship Program, the following information should be submitted to the Student Awards Chair:

Name, address, and name of institution.
Course work applicable to a career in information system security and grades received in those courses.
GPA.
A short narrative that discusses why you are interested in the field, relevant areas of interest, and the type of career you plan on pursuing.
Two letters of recommendation from faculty members.
(Optional) A statement if you are a member of an under-represented minority (including women).

This material must be submitted no later than September 29th. Notifications will be sent out by October 6th.
