Lighthouse Computer Services has partnered with the Tech Collective to award three $1,000 scholarships to students affiliated with military service and entering information technology, management-information systems or computer science fields.

The scholarships are part of a Tech Collective effort to grow and strengthen the IT-sector work force through education. Lighthouse had worked with Tech Collective leaders to find ways it could help. The grants were one of the resulting ideas; at least one other company has plans to offer scholarships as well. More information is available at www.tech-collective.org.

Tom Mrva, CEO of Lighthouse, recently spoke with Providence Business News about how the scholarships fit with his company’s goals.
