About the Scholarship

Each year, MAC will award $5,000 to a recipient of the Paul Stothart Memorial Scholarship. Candidates must be enrolled in a Canadian university studying either a Bachelor or Master of Economics, or a Master of Business Administration (MBA), and must demonstrate an interest in mineral economics.

In 2012, MAC and its members established the Paul Stothart Memorial Scholarship following the passing of its valued colleague.

This scholarship will be awarded to students who showcase similar passion for a rewarding career in the Canadian mining and metals sector.
