Mining Diesel Emissions Council (MDEC) Scholarship fund 2025

The MDEC Scholarship Fund is devoted to the furtherance of education for postsecondary students. Established in 2010, the Scholarship Fund was founded with the goal of providing assistance to students who have demonstrated their commitment to academic success and community service and who have or plan to have an affiliation with the mining industry.

MDEC’s primary purpose is to host an annual Mining Vehicle Powertrain Conference (MVPC) for learning about and sharing the latest practices and research to control and reduce diesel emissions in the mining workplace environment and to support the development of battery electric vehicles (BEV) and alternative powertrain technologies deployed in the underground mining industry. Today, MDEC, through its Scholarship Program, continues a tradition of assisting students who might one day work in Canada’s mining industry.
