Alumni Bursary Fund
The Ore Gangue Alumni Bursary Fund has been established to provide financial assistance in the form of bursaries to deserving and needing students in the Department of Geological Sciences at the U of S. The intention of the fund is explicitly stated in the Terms of Reference:
"To provide financial support, reward academic performance, and recognize contributions to the Earth Sciences student community for students in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan who are members of the Ore Gangue."
The Fund will provide annual support to as many as two third year and two fourth year students on a permanent basis at a significant financial level. In order to make these awards we will need to accumulate a capital pool of at least $500,000.00. We are asking for your support and generous contributions to the University of Saskatchewan Ore Gangue Alumni Bursary Fund in this one-time fundraising effort. Please help us build a legacy that every Alumnus can be proud of.
