ASHRAE Assists College Students with Tuition through
Scholarships
ATLANTA—To help support future generations of engineers,
ASHRAE is awarding over $86,000 in scholarship money for the 2012-2013 school
year.
“Engineers build our future, so we want to help build up future
engineers,” William Murphy, Ph.D., P.E., chair of the Scholarship Trustees,
said. “Many of the ASHRAE scholarship recipients are already working in the
industry part time and some are exploring careers in various areas of
HVAC&R. We hope that this added exposure to the industry will lead to
employment opportunities for them in the field during and after
college.”
The recipients of ASHRAE’s scholarship assistance include the
following:
- Reuben Trane Scholarship: $10,000 to be awarded over two years, Drew Miller,
University of Nevada-Las Vegas, mechanical engineering and business management;
Kody Jones, Oklahoma State University, mechanical engineering; and Paul Nelson,

inventor and business executive.
- Willis H. Carrier Scholarships: $10,000 for one year Elizabeth McLean,
Kettering University, mechanical engineering; and Patrick McGrail, Kansas State
