The PMI Metropolitan St. Louis Chapter is committed to supporting the next generation of project leaders. Each year, we award scholarships to students who demonstrate passion for project management, strong academic progress, and a desire to make an impact in their communities and future organizations. 

For the 2026–2027 academic year, the chapter will award up to three scholarships of $1,500 each. These funds help students pursue degrees in project management or related fields where project management skills play a meaningful role. 

Scholarship funds are sent directly to the academic institution in the Fall once enrollment and GPA have been verified.
