Allen-Schultz – Hatch Scholarship (2023-2024 competition closed)
Objective of the scholarship
In the context of decarbonizing metal production, promote research rooted in industrial applications of aluminium or magnesium production, or in emerging electrometallurgical processes, and provide the chosen person with Hatch’s experience and expertise in these fields.
To honour the memory of Allen Schultz, former Director of Light Metals at Hatch, his wife Jan Guy, owner of AMACOR, is offering a scholarship of $10,000 CAD to anyone enrolled in graduate studies (doctorate and master’s degree with a thesis) related to the industrial production of aluminium, magnesium or electrometallurgy. In addition, Hatch offers a paid internship of at least 3 months to the selected person. See the selection criteria.
Mario-Fafard Scholarship (2023-2024 competition closed)
While the presence of women in the field of metallurgy is growing, their representation remains relatively low. Within the REGAL strategic group, in 2022, women members accounted for 25% of the REGAL student community, 18% of collaborators and 11% of co-researchers.
Since 2022, REGAL has been committed to taking concrete steps to increase the number of women among its student members. One of these initiatives is to encourage new candidates to enroll in graduate studies (doctorate and master’s degree with a thesis) on the subject of aluminium by making them eligible for a $2,000 scholarship.
