The awards are intended to give back to the individuals who support the Project
Management profession and the PMINJ Chapter.
The undergraduate award
is earmarked to assist the children (biological, stepchild, adopted and /
or under legal guardianship) of members of the PMINJ chapter who have aspirations
of attending and succeeding in college and should help defray the high costs
of continuing one's education beyond high school. The award is limited
to the 'children' of active PMINJ Chapter members and is potentially renewable
based on sustained academic achievement for a period of up to 3 years.
The graduate award is
earmarked to assist members of the PMINJ chapter who have aspirations of
