The ASHRAE Central New York Chapter King-Traugott Scholarship is available to a qualified mechanical or architectural engineering student or engineering technology student enrolled at a post-secondary educational institution within the geographic boundaries of the Central New York Chapter. Students must be engineering or pre-engineering students pursuing a Bachelor of Science or Engineering degree in a course of study that has traditionally been a preparatory curriculum for the HVAC&R profession. Applicants must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 on a scale where 4.0 is the highest and/or a class standing of no less than the top 30 percent and meet at least one of the following criteria: (A) the institution hosts a recognized ASHRAE student branch ASHRAE Student Branches; (B) the program is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET); (C) the program is accredited by Engineers Canada or the Canadian Council of Technicians & Technologists (CCTT). Three signed letters of recommendation are required: one from an instructor or faculty advisor, a current or past employer, and another character reference (other than a family member). In cases where the institution has an ASHRAE student branch on campus, a letter from the faculty advisor of that branch may be one of the three letters of recommendation. Re-applications accepted from former scholarship applicants and recipients who meet current criteria.
