CAER STUDENT SUPPORT
The Center provides scholarships and other forms of financial assistance to
undergraduate, graduate and post doctoral students at the University of Kentucky.
A direct annual grant is made to the Kentucky Mining Engineering Scholarship Program
for undergraduate mining engineering students from Kentucky, many from coal-producing
counties. Graduate students are provided with Research Assistantships and post doctoral
scholars are employed by the Center. Undergraduate students also work
as co-ops at the lab as well as other industry sponsored positions.
