Murdoch MetsThe main purpose of the Mets Club is to expose and involve the students studying Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering, extractive metallurgy and mineral science to the mining industry. We seek to promote the learning of skills and knowledge that cannot be taught in the classroom through activities such as the National Mining Games, participation at the New Leaders Conference, hosting industry presentations, organising field trips and volunteering at various metallurgical and mining industry conferences. Through our activities, we provide students with an avenue to build their professional and social networks, whilst also being able to meet potential employers in a relaxed environment.

How do I apply for a grant?
Step One: Jump online to www.the-guild.com.au and click on the “Clubs and Events” tab.
Step Two: Select “Club Grants” from the left-hand menu, and read through all the information provided.
Step Three: Download the “Application Doc”.
Step Four: Complete this document as accurately as possible. The more information you provide on your application form, the greater your chances of approval. You will need to do your homework on costing and quotes as we will only give you the money that you ask for eg: If you write Club banner $150 and when you apply for your reimbursement you write $300, The Guild will only reimburse you up to the initial $150 you applied for. If you choose to purchase stationary instead of the banner, DO NOT assume The Guild will reimburse you. The item you stipulated on your application is the item you are to purchase unless you get prior permission from The Guild.
Step Five: Submit your application online by clicking the “Club Grant Application Form”. You will need to attach your completed “Application Doc” from Step Four.
Step Six: Sit back and enjoy a cup of tea. Your grant application will be processed shortly by a select committee. The Clubs Officer will be in touch and inform you of your outcome. You can expect to hear from The Guild within two weeks!
