The Directors of the KEGS Foundation are greatly appreciative of the strong support extended by the geophysics and exploration community across Canada for the Foundation and its scholarship program, which has enabled it to provide scholarships to more than 125 students from 18 universities since its inception in 1999.

This generous support by mining companies, service providers and individuals has totalled more than $250,000 in that period, enabling the Foundation to build a significant endowment base as well to award 12-20 scholarships annually. This has included major gifts by individuals and companies over this period, establishing a number of named endowed scholarships, notably:

 * Limion Scholarship (2001), which honours Heikki Limion, noted consulting geophysicist

 * KEGS Pioneers Scholarship (2003), which honours various notable Canadian exploration geophysicists

 * BCGS Scholarship (2005), funded by the BC Geophysical Society and its members

 * GSC Pioneers Scholarship (2007), established to honour the pioneering geophysicists of the GSC

 * Fugro Scholarship (2008), established by Fugro to support advances inairborne method

 * WAMIC Geophysics Scholarship (2009), funded by transfer of WAMIC endowment

More recently, the KEGS Foundation gratefully acknowledges additional contributions by numerous individuals and companies, including the following major gifts and donations:

 * HudBay Minerals, to honour noted geophysicists Bob Frazer, who helped discover various orebodies in the Flin Flon VMS camp

 * NW Mining, in support of the JESteers bursary (administered by the CMIEF)

 * BCGS

 * Fugro Airborne Surveys (Canada)

 * Teck Corporation

 * Sander Geophysics (sponsor of students attending the KEGS Breakfast)

 * Terraquest

 * KEGS

 * Laurie Reed

 * Peter Kowalczyk

 * Geotech Surveys

We encourage further support by concerned members of the geophysical and exploration community, and welcome inquiries as to possible tax-advantaged donations via shares and bequests.
