HUMBOLDT — BHP and Carlton Trail College is accepting applications from students from eligible communities and First Nations who are entering post-secondary education in the fall for BHP’s Jansen Project Scholarship Program.
Carlton Trail College administers the program on BHP’s behalf.
The scholarship program was created to support students accessing post-secondary education and training opportunities. Since 2012, BHP has awarded over $852,000 in scholarships, including $122,500 that was awarded in 2024 to eligible learners from 30 regional communities and six First Nations. The program was expanded in 2024 to include additional communities within proximity to the Jansen mine project.
“This is a very exciting time for the province of Saskatchewan, with several projects, like BHP’s Jansen potash mine driving economic growth,” said Graham Reynolds, general manager of Operational Readiness, BHP.
“At Jansen alone, our operational workforce will require about 900 people. The opportunity for people of all backgrounds to build a meaningful and rewarding career in mining is immense, and access to education and training for local and First Nations communities helps open the door.”
"As an educational partner, we are pleased to continue supporting regional students in accessing further education and training through BHP’s scholarship program," said Amy Yeager, Carlton Trail College president and CEO.
"This partnership is a great opportunity to invest in the future of students, while helping to build skilled workers for the future.”
