Description

The Rusty & Debbie Hoffman Family Scholarship is a one-year scholarship available to a qualified undergraduate mechanical or architectural engineering student enrolled at one of the eligible schools in North Carolina or who has graduated from a high school within the geographic boundaries of ASHRAE Region IV (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia). If there are no eligible applicants in Region IV, then the scholarship will be available to any full-time undergraduate engineering student who meets the Society's criteria for an undergraduate engineering scholarship. Scholarships are available to undergraduate engineering or pre-engineering students pursuing a Bachelor of Science or Engineering degree in a course of study that has traditionally been a preparatory curriculum for the HVAC&R profession at a school. Applicants must have a 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 hosts a recognized ASHRAE student branch ASHRAE Student Branches; (2) or the program is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET); (3) or the program is accredited by the Consejo de Acreditacion de la Ensenanza de la Ingenieria (CACEI). 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. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact ASHRAE for more information.
