The Canadian Mineral Industry Education Foundation has been offering scholarships since 1964 to undergraduate students with a strong interest in a career in the mining industry. CMIEF was created to support and encourage today’s students to become tomorrow’s mining leaders – ensuring innovation, growth and talent succession in the industry.
Students enrolled in a geology, mining or metallurgy program in a Canadian university, or any other discipline related to the mining industry, are eligible to obtain a scholarship. Recipients receive $1,000 per academic term until the degree program is completed, provided that satisfactory academic performance is maintained and that work experience in the mining industry is obtained between academic terms.
