You don't need years in a classroom to make a meaningful move in your career. The Certificate Accelerator Scholarship is built for professionals who are ready to formalize their skills, earn a recognized credential, and advance; without the financial weight of a full degree program.
This scholarship provides an $11,145 tuition reduction on the Certificate in Project Management, bringing the total cost of the program to $4,995. At that price point, the program fits within most employer tuition assistance plans, meaning many students are able to complete their certificate with little to no money out of pocket. If your employer offers tuition reimbursement, this scholarship was built with you in mind.
