We invite you to apply for the 2024 Portland Relocation Council Scholarship

The Portland Relocation Council was founded in 2004 to support and educate those who have a common interest in global mobility.  The Portland Relocation Council is committed to giving back to our community and improving the lives of those in need. As part of our commitment to giving back we are offering a student scholarship program.  For 2024 two students will be selected for a scholarship in the amount of $2,500 each.
