The SEE Education Foundation will be awarding $81,000 in scholarships. Each year, the Scholarship Committee reviews and scores applications from students in a wide range of disciplines and make awards ranging from $1,500 to a top award of $7,500 to one well-qualified student.
The SEE Education Foundation is a nonprofit organization created in 1996 to serve the long-term education interests of the explosives industry through the development of education and training materials, championing the inclusion of explosives instruction in engineering curricula and awarding scholarships to eligible students.
ISEE moved to a new home office Monday, May 7. Although our phone number remains the same, please be sure to update our address to:
International Society of Explosives Engineers
26500 Renaissance Parkway
Cleveland, Ohio 44128
The move comes after our neighbors Nestle purchased a cluster of buildings and land last year where our offices were located. Our new headquarters features a prominent display of historical memorabilia from the mining and explosives industries; a large staging area for conference preparation and packing; and updated infrastructure including internet access, phone lines and IT systems.
Follow us on Facebook to see the pictures once we're all settled in.
