The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) will tomorrow October 19 2011 hand-over sixteen study bursaries to financially needy first year minerals and mining sector students at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, Gauteng.
In an effort to address technical skills shortages within the department’s branches, the DMR have partnered with the Mining Qualification Authority (MQA) who have pledged 60 fully funded 4-year study bursaries to build capacity. The ceremony at Wits will mark the first of several which will take place at universities across the country.
