ASHRAE offers a comprehensive scholarship program supporting students in engineering and engineering technology fields related to HVAC&R. The Willis H. Carrier Scholarships are among the largest awards at $10,000 per year, with additional named scholarships ranging from $3,000 to $12,500. The program awards multiple scholarships annually to students who demonstrate academic excellence and interest in building systems and energy. Chapter-level ASHRAE scholarships with separate deadlines are also available.
