Society for Information Management (Portland SIM) scholarship
Since 2004, the Portland chapter of the Society for Information Management (SIM) has worked to help young men and women seeking undergraduate college degrees in IT-related disciplines at local colleges and universities. The scholarships are awarded to deserving students in the hope that they will become IT thought leaders in the future. We typically award 4-5 of these scholarships annually, supported by the generous funding from SIM.
