BHP and Carlton Trail College are pleased to announce the recipients of the BHP Jansen Scholarship Program for 2023. The scholarship program provided a combined support of over $82,000 to 26 youth pursuing post-secondary education and training opportunities in a field of their choosing. Carlton Trail College is a partner in this initiative, administering the program on BHP’s behalf.
“Access to post-secondary education and skills training is proven to bring several benefits to individuals and their families and is often a first step on a path to a fulfilling career,” said Karina Gistelinck, Asset President Potash, BHP. “We are thrilled to partner again with Carlton Trail College to help support 26 youth from our community in reaching their educational goals. Congratulations and best wishes to all of this year’s recipients.”
“We appreciate the strong partnership we have with BHP,” said Amy Yeager, Carlton Trail College President and CEO. “Working together, we’re able to support important educational and training opportunities for Saskatchewan students.”
The program provides scholarships to students from eligible schools and communities located in proximity to the Jansen Potash Project. Scholarships are available to Indigenous students, high school students graduating in the current year, and recent high school graduates under the age of 30 who are attending a recognized post-secondary program for the first time.
Since the program’s establishment, BHP has awarded over $729,000 in scholarships to 275 students.
