For Students Studying Project Management

The Global Accreditation Center for Project Management Education Programs (GAC) stands as an independent academic accreditation body, setting forth policies, procedures, and standards for project, program, and portfolio management, along with related programs at the bachelor’s, postgraduate, and doctoral degree levels.

The GAC scholarship aims to provide crucial support to students engaged in the study of project management. Its primary objective is to empower students to apply project/program/portfolio management methodologies in addressing current and future organizational needs, thereby enhancing awareness of project management principles and contributing to organizational success.
