Syd S. Peng Ground Control in Mining Scholarship 
The primary objective of the Syd S. Peng Ground Control in Mining Scholarship is to promote the science of ground control. Recent trends in mining engineering professionals indicate that a shortage of competent ground control engineers may exist if this trend continues. To help remedy this situation and promote the ground control engineering discipline, an undergraduate and/or graduate scholarship, or scholarships, will be awarded annually to encourage the development of ground control engineers.
