DETROIT – This year, the Detroit Chapter of ISACA ? formerly the Information Systems Audit and Control Association – will sponsor two separate scholarship contests. This fall, two $1,000 scholarships are available for local college students. Next spring, three $1,000 scholarships will be available.
What’s more, all full-time students will receive a one-year student membership to ISACA, just for participating.
Submission requirements include a one page resume and a four page paper on:
How can ISACA better prepare students to enter the IT audit profession?
Please include at least three skills you consider key to being a successful IT auditor.
A cover page can also be added. Applicants from all schools are welcome. Resumes should include GPA, outside activities, and may include any involvement in ISACA or other professional or university organizations.
Please follow these formatting rules: Double space, Times New Roman 12 font, 1-inch margins, use section headings, four-page maximum, must include references on separate page, not part of the four.
The papers will be evaluated on content and editing. This should not be a cut and paste exercise. Priority will be given to, but not limited to full‐time students and those who will be graduating in spring 2011 or later. Students must not be employed in their post‐graduation professional career, so as to limit the scholarships to students who need the funds the most.
Fall contest winners will be announced at the joint meeting held with the
Internal Auditors Association held on December 7.
If you have returned to school to change professions, you would be eligible. There are usually good odds of earning the scholarship when submitting. Fall deadline is November 29 at midnight. Submissions are to be sent to: Administrator@isaca‐det.org.
