Rio Tinto provides new Scholarships at the Imperial College London

The Imperial College London announced on its homepage the partnership with Rio Tinto. Rio Tinto’s existing Global Education Partnership Programme provides new scholarships and support for Imperial students.

The Imperial partnership will be built around a series of education-related initiatives including scholarships to provide 12 academically outstanding Imperial undergraduates with financial support and access to mining-related work experience opportunities. Rio Tinto will also fund a teaching fellow position in Geology in the College’s Department of Earth Science and Engineering for a period of five years, commencing in 2012, as well as supporting geology field trips for first year Earth Science and Engineering students who travel to Urra in Spain for hands-on site experience.
