ATLANTA — ASHRAE awarded over $86,000 in scholarship money for the 2012-2013 school year.

“Engineers build our future, so we want to help build up future engineers,” said William Murphy, Ph.D., P.E., chair of the Scholarship Trustees. “Many of the ASHRAE scholarship recipients are already working in the industry part time and some are exploring careers in various areas of HVACR. We hope that this added exposure to the industry will lead to employment opportunities for them in the field during and after college.”
