The Mining Industry Human Resources Council is providing $48,000 in scholarship money for students studying mining-related programming at Northern College’s Haileybury School of Mines.

Between 2015 and 2020, enrolment in materials and metallurgical engineering was down by 7 per cent, enrolment in mining or mineral engineering was down by 41 per cent, and enrolment in geological engineering was down by 29 per cent.With the addition of the MiHR funding, Northern College said it’s now able to offer students in mining-related programs more than $140,000 in scholarship money.
Northern’s Haileybury School of Mines is world-renowned for its mining-related education, and has been training people in the industry for more than a century.
