The Institute is inviting applications for its 2010 Scholarship and Bursary Awards, which will be judged in respect of academic excellence. Submissions must be returned by 26 March 2010, and must specify academic ability: candidates merely seeking assistance for financial hardship will not be considered. The available awards are:

• Centenary Scholarship: For first or second year undergraduates who are student members of IOM3, to help career development in minerals and mining.
• Edgar Pam Fellowship: For postgraduate study of minerals and mining by those living in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the UK who wish to undertake further study in the UK.
