Scholarships

Carrier is collaborating with TechForce Foundation to support the next generation of skilled technicians by awarding $2,500 tuition scholarships to students pursuing careers in HVAC. These need-based awards are applied directly to a student’s tuition account. If a student is enrolled in a tuition-free program, the scholarship may be used in full to cover cost-of-attendance expenses.
