The ASIS Foundation, Inc. developed by
the ASIS Foundation, Inc. Board of Trustees has set the
following goals in developing its scholarship policy.
-
To encourage ASIS Chapter members
to further their education in the field of security;
-
To increase the number and amount
of scholarships to deserving applicants;
-
To decentralize decision making;
-
To call national attention to the
Society as an institution committed to the betterment of
the security profession;
-
To encourage scholarship award
activities at all levels.
Purpose
The purpose of the scholarship process is to provide each ASIS
Chapter with a means to recognize and to promote individuals who
are interested in the security profession, by providing
financial assistance.
The Foundation will highlight the
significance of scholarship recognition as a noteworthy
credential for those who wish to enter the security profession.
Chapters are encouraged to involve scholarship winners in
professional development opportunities as a means of introducing
them to the security profession.
The Foundation is particularly interested
in encouraging mid-career security professionals, who are ASIS
Chapter members, to engage in undergraduate degree completion
programs and part-time graduate programs, as well as
professional development programs as specified by the
scholarship program rules. Examples of professional development
are: APC I, II, III; CPP Review; ASIS workshops and other
programs offered by training and development organizations.
Matching and Regional Awards
The Foundation will match scholarships from 50 Chapters per
calendar year. Each Chapter may select one matching scholarship
winner per year. The Chapter must follow the minimum selection
criteria/procedures stated in this policy. If the matching
scholarship winner is an ASIS Chapter member, the Foundation
will add up to $1000 to the winner's check (e.g. Chapter gives a
$250 scholarship to an ASIS member, Foundation will add $500 for
a total of $750; or a Chapter gives $500 to an ASIS member,
Foundation will give $1000 for a total of $1500). If the
recipient of the matching scholarship is not an ASIS Chapter
member, the Foundation will only add up to $500 to the
scholarship winner's check.
All Chapter matching scholarship winners
may be considered for the Regional Vice President's Award. Each
RVP may award one $500 scholarship each year. This is a flat
grant from the Foundation with no matching funds required from
the Chapter. The recipient will be selected from the list of
Chapter winners by the RVP. The criteria are the same as in the
basic policy. The RVP winner must be a Chapter matching
scholarship award winner.
Chapter Role
The San Francisco Bay Area Chapter funds a local scholarship of
$500 each year.
Selection Criteria for Students
(one to one match)
Applicants must be either a full-time or part-time student and
have completed one year of study at a recognized college,
university or community college.
A minimum grade point of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) will be required
for both graduate and undergraduate students.
Candidates will submit the following:
-
An application form and an
official grade transcript.
-
An institutional validation of
program enrollment (or acceptance in the case of
transfer students) in a fully accredited college,
university or community college.
-
A recommendation from a faculty
member.
Selection Criteria of Professional
Development (two for one match)
Professional development program applicants must be Chapter
members in good standing who have been ASIS members for at least
one year. ASIS student members are not eligible for the two for
one match. This criterion is in consonance with the Foundation's
desire to encourage full-time security professionals to pursue
professional development.
Candidates will submit the following:
Financial need shall not be a factor in
the selection process for either the student or the professional
development award as the purpose of the award is to provide
recognition of achievement and ability.
Jack Buckley Fund
The San Francisco Bay Area Chapter intends to use Buckley Funds
to give educational grants and scholarships to chapter members.
The quantity and specifications of these awards will be decided
each year by the executive council. |
