Let's face it, having the leading national honor society dedicated to homeland security, intelligence, emergency management, cyber and information security, and all protective security disciplines recognize you as an outstanding student or professional says a lot. In today's difficult economy, even outstanding students and professionals could use a little more recognition as added value on their resumes.

We don't believe in yearly dues! The only fee for full lifetime membership is a onetime application fee of $75.

Membership in the Order of the Sword and Shield National Honor Society will immediately set you apart from your peers. I can tell you first hand, after being inducted into the Honor Society in 2012, many doors have opened. When applying to Graduate school at Boston University, the Dean commented to me, "You have a homeland security degree and you are a member of a homeland security honor society?" Needless to say, 3 weeks later, I received my acceptance letter. Dr. Thomas Swenson, FEMA
