CONSOL gives scholarship in Mining Engineering Technology

(Bluefield)— CONSOL, Inc. recently made a $25,000 donation in support of Bluefield State College’s mining engineering technology program.  Since 1980, CONSOL has supported BSC’s mining engineering technology program on a continuing basis.  

“The support provided by CONSOL makes a very positive difference in the lives of our students,” noted Frank Hart, Dean/BSC School of Engineering Technology & Computer Science.  “This most recent gift brings to more than $275,000 the total amount of CONSOL’s contributions to the program.”  Nearly 100 BSC students have benefited from CONSOL’s scholarship support over the past 27 years, and more than 60 BSC graduates have accepted employment with CONSOL.

CONSOL also makes available special scholarships for minorities and women.  These scholarships are granted individually as students are recruited and choose careers in the mining industry.
