The organization awarded $164,000 in financial assistance to 33 students
ATLANTA — Thirty-three students receiving scholarship funds from ASHRAE are joining more than 300 others who have received financial assistance from ASHRAE over the years. The students are accepting $164,000 worth of financial assistance for the 2016-2017 school year. Over the course of 28 years, ASHRAE has awarded more than $1.78 million to over 360 deserving undergraduate students.
“ASHRAE scholarships have a positive impact on the lives of students and often allows them to focus more on their studies and work fewer hours at part-time jobs,” said Chuck Curlin, chair of the scholarship trustees, ASHRAE. “ASHRAE scholarships help defray some of the costs of a college education, which has gotten much more expensive in past years. The scholarships we provide not only help with the financial needs of students, but also create a direct connection between the recipients and ASHRAE.”
