security conference organised by SIA, the Women in Security Forum (WISF), publicizes the offering of a $7,500 scholarship to applicants.
The Security Industry Association's (SIA) Women in Security Forum (WISF) has announced multiple scholarships worth $7,500 each, aimed at supporting the education and professional development of individuals in the security industry.
These scholarships are open to two categories of applicants:
- SIA student members, or
- SIA WISF members who are employees of SIA member companies.
The scholarships can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
- Registration fees for SIA education or certification programs and conferences
- Repayment of student loan debt
- Registration for other industry education and certification programs
- Tuition for accredited trade, vocational, or academic degree programs related to security
- Registration for industry online learning programs
The application process involves completing a form and submitting any required supporting materials. While the SIA RISE scholarships have detailed essay prompts and professional reference requirements, the WISF scholarship application process is likely to be similar, managed through SIA's platform. The deadline for applications is Friday, August 22, 2025.
It's important to note that while the scholarship funds may be used for student loan repayment, the WISF scholarship application process might not provide explicit information on this matter. Applicants may need to submit additional documentation to request student loan repayment. The WISF scholarship does not specify whether it covers student loan repayment directly, and its application process may not be designed to handle such requests specifically.
Applicants can learn about the WISF scholarship's eligibility requirements and application process details by visiting the SIA official scholarship page or the WISF community page linked in SIA releases.
In addition to financial support, these scholarships are an investment in the recipients' education and professional growth within the security industry. The funds can be used for professional development opportunities such as courses, certifications, webinars, and conferences, as well as for continuing education and degree programs.
