The ASHRAE Engineering Technology Scholarships are one-year scholarships. Scholarships are available to undergraduate Engineering Technology students pursuing either a Bachelor or an Associate degree in a course of study that has traditionally been a preparatory curriculum for the HVAC&R profession. Qualified applicants must have a minimum cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 and/or a class standing of no less than the top 30 percent and meet at least one of the following criteria: (1) the institution has an active ASHRAE student branch on campus ASHRAE Student Branches; (2) or the program is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) or the Partnership for Air Conditioning, Heating, & Refrigeration Accreditation (PAHRA); (3) or an agency outside the USA that is a signatory of The Sydney Accord. Applicants must submit three signed letters of recommendation, one from an instructor or faculty advisor, a current or past employer, and another character reference (other than a family member). In cases where the institution has an ASHRAE student branch on campus, a letter from the faculty advisor of that branch may be one of the three letters of recommendation.
