In cooperation with the ASIS Council on Academic Programs in Colleges and Universities,
the student writing competition is open to any undergraduate or graduate student enrolled in a college or university during all or part of the academic year.

The competition is open to all students, full-time and part-time, studying at a recognized
accredited institution and pursuing a baccalaureate or graduate (master’s) degree. Doctoral candidates are not eligible. Students in fields of study other than security—such as business, engineering, architecture, criminology, international affairs, law, and public administration—are encouraged to participate. Perspectives from these fields and others are clearly relevant to assets protections in today’s global environment, and offer valuable insights to contemporary issues of interest to the ASIS community.
