Education Scholarships
SSEF is launching two educational scholarships in gemmology, that will each be awarded once annually. They allow the scholarship winner to take a course at SSEF for free. The SSEF foundation aims to make gemmological education more accessible to students with a passion for the subject but limited resources. These two scholarships also align with the SSEF Foundation’s commitment to fostering excellence and knowledge within the jewellery and gemstone industry since 1972.
