The LME Scholarship fund provides two full scholarships per year for graduate students at the Camborne School of Mines to help them on their journey to forging a successful mining career.
The scholarships are available to UK students and successful candidates will be given the opportunity to receive work experience and/or mentoring support from LME staff.
The funding comes from trading fees received on 19 September 2022, the Bank Holiday which marked the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, upholding the LME’s commitment to donate trading fees received on that day to a charity of which Her Majesty was a patron.
Professor Pat Foster, Head of Camborne School of Mines said:
"We are absolutely delighted and extremely grateful for this incredible support from the London Metal Exchange, and the creation of this wonderful scholarship programme. It is a hugely important gift for the Camborne School of Mines, and these new scholarships will not only help us to attract and support the most talented and committed students to study at the postgraduate level, but also provide a special platform with LME to develop their skills and advance into the workplace."
Since being formed in 1888, Camborne School of Mines has developed an enviable reputation for producing pioneering research, focusing on the key challenges of resource sustainability, environmental production and mine health and safety.
It is recognised as having a global impact on the mining and minerals industry, by training graduates who are now leading the sector in new and exciting ways. It has also built close relationships with local, national and international business, helping to promote advances in sustainable mining, geological exploration and renewable energy.
