Because one of ACA's goals is to promote higher education in corrections,
as well as attracting college students to our field, the ACA has created 
the Student Affairs Committee. It is our mission to provide college 
students interested in a career in corrections with the opportunity to 
attend ACA bi-annual conventions and conferences. We believe that many 
potentially interested students do not attend these functions simply due 
to financial constraints. Part of our mission is to expose potentially 
interested college students to the unparalleled professionalism and 
networking opportunities found at ACA conventions and conferences. To 
facilitate this, we are seek the support of  sponsors and donors.

Our committee has set extremely modest goals for student sponsorship. We 
would like to sponsor at least 10 college students to attend the each
Conference, held twice a year by paying each student's registration fee of 
$50.00. Further, we would like to provide cash prizes to the top three 
finalists in the  Student Poster Session.  The goal for the sponsorship 
of the cash prizes is $500. With your help, we believe these goals to be 
reasonable and obtainable. There are also other ways in which sponsors
can support students, including providing journal subscriptions  
to award-winning students, donating vendor products for the student
Poster Session at ACA conferences, or other creative support.

In return, we will include your name among the recent sponsors on the
ACA-SAC homepage and can provide a space at the Poster Session for
literature about your organization, school,  or company.

If you are interested in supporting students, here is  more information.
