Steven C. Potter Scholarship
(M&E Division) |
graduate students only |
The Steven C. Potter Scholarship (Potter Scholarship) is to be awarded annually to a graduate student who is an SME student member, and whose thesis is directed toward furthering the understanding of ore deposit systems and their formation, geologic mapping and analysis of an ore deposit or mining district, or developing concepts or tools that may be used in the discovery of ore deposits. |
| RETC Attendance Award |
undergraduate and graduate students |
The RETC Attendance Award provides selected students with an opportunity to attend the RETC Conference. Applicants must be full-time sophomore, junior, senior, or graduate students with a designated major in an applicable field of engineering (civil, mechanical, mining, electrical, geological) or construction management.
