Scholarships

The CHIME Education Foundation is pleased to offer a variety of scholarships to CHIME members and their staff. The scholarships cover educational programs from CHIME events to other CIO-related executive education and provide IS executives with a mechanism to fund their professional development and advancement within the healthcare IT industry.

The CHIME Edge Scholarship

The primary objective of the CHIME Edge Scholarship is to help CHIME members at small and/or rural organizations attend CHIME events. This scholarship is intended for members from small organizations who would not otherwise be able to attend CHIME’s education programs due to restricted or non-existent training and/or travel budgets.

The scholarship can be used for registration fees, travel, and housing toward any of CHIME’s educational programs, up to $2500. CHIME’s educational programs currently include the Spring CIO Forum, the Fall CIO Forum, LEAD Forums, and the Healthcare CIO Boot Camp. Up to four $2500 scholarships will be awarded each year.

Healthcare CIO Boot Camp Alumni Scholarship

This scholarship is meant for CHIME Boot Camp Alumni who have not yet progressed to the CIO position and whose education, aptitude, experience and values are consistent with the CHIME Seven CIO Success factors.

Boot Camp Minority Scholarships

The primary objective of the Healthcare CIO Boot Camp Minority Scholarship is to enable more minorities to enter and move ahead in the healthcare IT profession and, in particular, to help them develop their skills so they can become successful healthcare Chief Information Officers ( CIOs).
