The PMINJ College Scholarship is intended to
give back to individuals who support the Project Management
profession and the PMINJ Chapter. It is neither a
needs-based scholarship nor is it restricted to a particular
field of study. The award is earmarked to assist the PMINJ
members, children of PMINJ members and PMINJ student members
who have aspirations of attending and succeeding in college
and is intended to help defray the high costs of higher
education. There is an Undergraduate and a Graduate
scholarship program.
