AzerGold CJSC announces the next edition of its Scholarship Programme competition for university students pursuing studies in the mining sector.

The scholarship, established to ensure the timely provision of qualified personnel for the Company’s strategic projects, will be awarded on a competitive basis among students of higher education institutions operating in Azerbaijan.

The competition is open to Azerbaijani citizens who, during the 2026–2027 academic year, are full-time final-year bachelor’s or master’s students in mining engineering, geology, chemical engineering, or metallurgy.
