Scholarship Opportunities, apply by October 15:
1. Over $300,000 in mining and earth sciences related scholarships
This year we're giving out more than $300,000 through more than 60 scholarships. Any Canadian student in an earth sciences related program qualifies, as does any international student attending a Canadian post-secondary school. There are awards based on where students are from, which school they attend and which program they're in, along with general scholarships, scholarships for Indigenous students and scholarships for women in the industry. Many of the scholarships also come with jobs, so they can open doors well beyond tuition support.
We're also giving away twenty $500 lottery scholarships to encourage students to apply. Any student who applies for one of the scholarships is automatically entered, which gives everyone an equal chance to win funding.
2. $2,000 scholarship and a full-time job at NAK for graduating geology students
American Eagle Gold are offering a $2,000 scholarship for BC-based geology students in their fourth year who are about to graduate. This scholarship comes with a full-time job offer at our NAK project near Smithers, BC.
For a student finishing their degree, this is a chance to start a career with steady work and hands-on experience on a major program.
