Ernest K. Lehmann Memorial Scholarship

 

The Ernest K. Lehmann Memorial Scholarship (Lehmann Scholarship) was established in 2014 by the Ernest and Sarah Lehmann Family Fund of the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundations. Ernie Lehmann had a distinguished career as an exploration geologist and mining entrepreneur. He worked extensively in the Americas, Africa and Europe and was a tireless promoter of the mining industry, serving on numerous advisory committees and boards throughout his 60-year career. He was a charter member of the American Institute of Professional Geologists and received AIPG’s highest award, the Ben H. Parker Medal, in 1987. He received SME’s Ben F. Dickerson Award in 2005 for his contributions to the mining industry.

The Lehmann Scholarship is awarded annually to one or more students pursuing an undergraduate degree in geology or geological sciences. Because of Mr. Lehmann’s ties to Minnesota and his love for the region, preference will be given, but is not limited, to eligible applicants with personal connections to Minnesota. Applicants must have completed their sophomore year of studies at the time of application. A cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher is required.
