The Canadian Mineral Industry Education Foundation (CMIEF) wants to reach more students and donors to help young people build mining careers, incoming chair Angelina Mehta says.
The foundation supported 140 university students last year. It works with more than 20 institutions across Canada.
“It also renews, so basically once you get the scholarship and you can maintain your grades and your industry internships, you’re supported right through to graduation,” Mehta told The Northern Miner last week at Xplor 2026 in Montreal.
The approach aims to keep students connected to mining while helping them finish their studies. The next scholarship cycle begins in January, with support available to Canadian citizens and permanent residents in their second, third or fourth year of university.
