ASHRAE has awarded $106,000 in scholarship money for the 2013-2014 academic year. According to David Meredith, chair of the ASHRAE Scholarship Trustees, the scholarships are making a difference in the lives of students.

“When I look at the global leadership that past scholarship recipients have demonstrated throughout their professional career, I am proud of what the ASHRAE Scholarship Program has been able to accomplish,” he said.  “I can’t wait to see how this year’s recipients help shape our future.”

The recipients of ASHRAE’s scholarship assistance include the following:
