The program, founded in 2018, will this year award $2,500 apiece to up to 30 students to help them pursue HVAC education and promising careers in the industry.
Awards are available to plumbing and HVACR apprentices working for PHCC members, trade school or community college students taking plumbing or HVAC classes, and college students pursuing majors directly related to plumbing or HVACR.
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.
Fieldpiece created the #MasteroftheTrade scholarship program to give back to the industry it has served for over three decades. The funds will assist recipients in covering college tuition fees or postsecondary HVACR technology program costs.
