ASHRAE Scholarship Program

Overview/Purpose

Through its scholarships, ASHRAE seeks to motivate students and prospective students worldwide to pursue an engineering or technology career in the HVAC&R field, part of the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) industry.

Over the course of 29 years ASHRAE has awarded nearly $2 million to nearly 400 deserving students.

Mark Jirak "My dream of becoming a mechanical engineer is moving forward, thanks to generous educational scholarships like yours…The $10,000 award gives me an opportunity to earn skills that will help me better serve the HVAC industry. Thank you personally for your generosity: Without scholarships like these available to help students pay for their education, it would be difficult to fund an engineering education. This scholarship will help me gain the necessary training to succeed in a future engineering position." – Mark Jirak, Minnesota State University, Mechanical Engineering, ASHRAE Reuben Trane Scholarship – 2017-2018	Subhan Khalid "I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to you for making the Minnesota Peter Potvin Scholarship possible.
