EGIA Foundation Announces 2020 Class of HVAC Scholarship Winners
The EGIA Foundation has now funded more than $132,000 in scholarships
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The EGIA Foundation announced its third annual class of HVAC scholarship recipients. Taking into consideration financial need, academic merit, and career aspirations, nineteen scholarships of $2,500 apiece are being awarded to students pursuing HVAC-related educations at trade schools, universities, community colleges, and other accredited institutions.
Now in its third year, the EGIA Foundation Scholarship Program has funded $132,500 in scholarships in total, after disbursing $47,500 to this latest class. The scholarship program was created to reverse the ongoing workforce shortage in the home services industry, while laying the foundation for an ongoing influx of talented, passionate young graduates into the HVAC workforce since 2017. It has further helped remove financial barriers that have previously prevented some dedicated young people from pursuing industry career paths.
