$2,000 Scholarships for students from any major! Declare Sustainable Mineral Resources as your minor
"As an out of state student, receiving a scholarship for school is incredibly helpful in allowing me to afford school. It has allowed me to focus on my studies and not worry about financials. I would definitely recommend joining SME, this organization helps to spread the word about upcoming scholarship deadlines and they highlight the ones that mining students are competitive for. It has helped me greatly in gaining scholarships. Another place I would recommend is checking out Scholarship Universe."
