Ten scholarships will be awarded, covering full tuition for prospective students to complete an undergraduate or graduate degree program at the University.
Recipients will have the option to attend a University of Phoenix campus or complete a degree online.
“The SIA Scholarship Program provides employees of SIA member companies with an unparalleled opportunity to advance their careers through achievement in higher education,” says SIA CEO Don Erickson. “This opportunity represents precisely the sort of value SIA strives to provide its members, and I am very grateful to the University of Phoenix for working with us to change the lives of 10 ambitious individuals.”
