The Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (SME), its divisions and affiliates offer multiple scholarships to SME student members who seek a career in the mining, mineral and tunneling industries. SME will be accepting applications for the 2020 scholarship season September 1 through October 15, 2020.

Kanagy. ”We are proud to be able to provide these educational opportunities to the future leaders of the global mining and underground construction communities.“
