The #MasteroftheTrade Scholarship will support 12 individual recipients with funds earmarked for their education in a college or postsecondary HVACR technology program.

The scholarships, which are for new instructors, were established to honor the memory of D. Brian Baker, an advocate for continued learning and professional development in the HVACR industry.

Scholarships will be awarded to eligible applicants based on financial need, academic merit, and interest in pursuing a career in HVAC or refrigeration.
