INDIANAPOLIS — MAX Service Group, which operates five HVAC and plumbing companies in the Midwest, has awarded 20 high school seniors with $1,000 MAX Scholarships in leadership.

Since 2015, MAX Service Group has awarded scholarships to high school seniors in each market where the company operates. This year, five scholarships were awarded to leaders in each of these locations: central Indiana, on behalf of Williams Comfort Air and Mr. Plumber; greater Louisville, Kentucky, on behalf of Jarboe’s Heating, Cooling and Plumbing; southwestern Ohio, on behalf of Thomas and Galbraith Heating, Cooling and Plumbing; and Columbus, Ohio, on behalf of Buckeye Heating, Cooling and Plumbing.

“Serving the community means doing more than simply providing a service,” said Greg Wells, MAX Service Group president. “Giving back in the form of scholarships for high school seniors who have impressive leadership skills is one of the most important things we do. Each individual was nominated by loved ones and peers in their own communities, and they all exemplify leadership skills either in the classroom, on a team, or in the community."

MAX Service Group’s scholarship program is part of its MAX Gives campaign, which focuses on charitable contributions to the community. Other initiatives include HVAC giveaways to families in need and teachers, water heater giveaways to first responders and community volunteers, monthly donations to various charities, and donations to families during the holiday season.
