PMI-NH Educational Reimbursement Program

PMI-NH Educational Reimbursement Program 

Supporting Lifelong Learning and Professional Development.Our Educational Reimbursement Program helps active PMI NH Chapter members pursue continued education related to project management, including certifications, workshops, and academic coursework. The program was developed to expand access to funding and better meet the evolving needs of our membership.

Jaime James Memorial Scholarship Fund

Originally established as the Jaime James Memorial Scholarship Fund, this initiative was named in memory of the NH Chapter’s founding member and passionate advocate for project management education, Jaime James. The fund began as a traditional scholarship for Chapter Officers, Committee Members, Members, and non-Members pursuing PMP certification through chapter run PMP certification preparation program, but over time, it became clear that a broader and more flexible format was needed to support our members diverse educational goals.

In 2024, the fund was reformatted into the Educational Reimbursement Program to better align with how our members learn and grow professionally. While the structure has changed, the heart of the initiative remains the same: to empower PMI NH members to pursue meaningful educational opportunities. The spirit and legacy of Jaime James continue to inspire our commitment to member development.
