Mining-related scholarships announced

The Pennsylvania-Anthracite Section of Society of Mining Engineers/AIME sponsors the John Kaminski Memorial Scholarships for mining-related engineering or science majors for Pennsylvania students.

One $1,000 scholarship is awarded annually for a graduating high school senior college or university undergraduate for enrollment and attendance in an engineering or science program related to mining at a school in Pennsylvania.

The graduating senior scholarship is a one-time only grant issued for freshmen attending their first semester in the fall of academic year. The college/university undergraduate scholarship is for high school senior scholarship winners and current undergraduate students and may be renewed upon application if satisfactory progress toward an appropriate degree is maintained.

Information about the scholarship grants can be obtained from your school’s guidance counselor, downloading the attached application form or by contacting us at: Pennsylvania Anthracite Section SME/AIME, C/O John R. Ackerman, P.E., P.G., BCEE, F.NSPE, F.ASCE Scholarship Chairman; at jrackerman@twinoaks.biz.

The deadline for consideration for the 2019-20 scholarships is May 15, 2020.

A check for $1,000 will be presented to the selected students at the section’s annual meeting and dinner in late June for the fall semester.

If available, the students and their parents will be guests of the society.
