A Faster Path to Scholarship Funds

The Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors—National Association Educational Foundation scholarship program plans to award 56 scholarships totaling over $140,000. Awards are available to plumbing and HVACR apprentices working for PHCC—National Association members, trade school or community college students taking plumbing or HVAC classes and college students pursuing majors directly related to the plumbing-heating-cooling industry.

All applicants are required to answer a few questions about their interest in the trades and career plans, plus provide a letter of recommendation. Apprentices can get that recommendation from their contractor employer, while trade school or college students can have an instructor or guidance counselor write their recommendation. Awards range from $1,500-10,000; with the most awards set at $3,000 each. The deadline for all submission materials is May 1 and the application can be found at phccfoundation.org/scholarships.
