Description

The Willis H. Carrier Scholarships are one-year undergraduate engineering scholarships available annually. The scholarship was established by The Carrier Corporation in memory of its founder, who's known widely for his numerous and significant contributions to establishing air conditioning as an industry. Carrier installed the world's first scientifically designed air conditioning system in 1902. Scholarships are awarded to undergraduate engineering or pre-engineering students who are enrolled in a post-secondary educational institution and pursuing a Bachelor of Science or Engineering degree in a course of study that traditionally has been a preparatory curriculum for the HVAC&R profession. Applicants must have a cumulative college 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 an active ASHRAE Student Branch; (2) or the program is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET); (3) or the institution is accredited by an equivalent agency outside the USA that is a signatory of the Washington Accord (4); (5) or the institution has a signed Memorandum of Understanding with ABET. 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.
