Distributors’ Education Foundation Scholarships Announced

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Carrier and Bryant, both part of Carrier Global Corp., have announced the recipients of the Distributors’ Education Foundation scholarship for the 2025-2026 school year.
Since its inception in 1981, the Distributors’ Education Foundation — established to honor the late William A. Blees and his many years of service as an advisor to Carrier and Bryant distributors — has provided more than $500,000 in assistance to more than 400 students working toward undergraduate or vocational degrees, a Carrier press release said. The scholarship is awarded to the children and grandchildren of Carrier and Bryant contractors, and the contractors' employees, who demonstrate academic excellence, perform community service, and participate in extracurricular activities.
This year, 25 students from 25 cities across 17 states received scholarships: 24 students attending four-year colleges or universities received $1,500 each, and one student attending a vocational school received a $2,000 scholarship.
Applications for the Carrier and Bryant Distributors’ Education Foundation scholarship typically open in early December and close in late March. Eligible applicants include the children and grandchildren of Carrier and Bryant dealers and contractors and their employees. Applicants must also be entering or currently enrolled in an accredited four-year college or university, or in a vocational or technical program.
