The electron impact collision strengths for several types of transitions of interest in highly charged ions with three valence electrons are expressed in a simple way in terms of scaled collision strengths for hydrogenic ions and helium-like ions with Z = infinity. Among applications of interest for these results are electron impact excitation of x-ray lines of lithium-like ions observed as satellites of the lines of highly charged helium-like ions.
