Lohial Nuau, the company's Bougainville advisor, unveiled the initiative emphasising its revival after a break.
Nuau explained that due to financial constraints linked to BCL's pending exploration approval, the scholarship program will primarily target students in their fourth and fifth years at tertiary institutions in Papua New Guinea and 12 graders in secondary schools.
Priority will be given to landowners from the mine site, former tenement areas and Arawa town.
