The scholarship, awarded by GRD Minproc, provides Gareth (22), from the University of WA, $10,000 and a guaranteed job upon graduation. The scholarship program was created in partnership with UWA and Curtin University of Technology. Dario Amara, GRD Minproc chief executive, presented the scholarship this week. He said the company believed there was a need to support young engineers entering the industry. Up to four scholarships, each worth $10,000, would be awarded annually to undergraduates who completed their second year of study. "The program will go towards keeping this intellectual horsepower in WA," he said. The company will target second-year students of civil, mechanical, mining systems, mineral processing or chemical engineering, or working towards a double degree combined with commerce, economics or science.
