THE Porgera Joint Venture scholarship programme is open to students moving into their second, third or fourth years of mining-related tertiary study next year.

The scholarships will cover one year of tuition fees and is targeted specifically at those studying in mining engineering, metallurgy, geoscience, mine surveying, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering.
