Student bursary application

---

The Student Bursary Award aims to celebrate female students who have demonstrated leadership in supporting other women in pursuing careers in the mining industry.

This award includes a $2000 scholarship.

Candidates can either be nominated or self-nominate for the Award. Nominees must be women and must be Canadian citizens or Canadian permanent residents at the time of their accomplishments. Nominators and Nominees do not need to be members of the Women in Mining Sudbury Chapter; however, they are encouraged to become members through the Women in Mining Sudbury website. 

Previous recipients of a Student Bursary Award are not eligible for nomination again. 

Please include the following document in the attachments section:

1. Transcript (or proof of enrollment)
2. Optional: Up to three (3) letters of support for the Nominee

Selection of the Student Bursary will be made by the Award Selection Committee and will subsequently be approved by the Women in Mining Sudbury Board of Directors, whose decision will be final. Selection will be based solely on the documentation submitted.

All results will be made public in October 2026, and candidates will be informed accordingly. Recipients and the Awards will be celebrated at the 2026 Mining for Diversity Gala in Sudbury.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@wimsudbury.com.

The deadline is October 4, 2026, at 17:00 ET.
