The Prem Jain Scholarship is a one-year scholarship. Special consideration shall be given to full-time undergraduate engineering students enrolled in a program accredited by a signatory of the Washington Accord in Asia or South Africa. If the cost of tuition, books, and supplies is less than the scholarship amount, then multiple scholarships in lesser amounts and not to exceed $5,000 total, shall be awarded annually. Scholarships are awarded to engineering or pre-engineering students who are enrolled in a post-secondary educational institution and pursuing a Bachelor of Science or Engineering degree in a course of study that traditionally has been a preparatory curriculum for the HVAC&R profession. Applicants must have a cumulative college GPA of at least 3.0; and/or a class standing of no less than the top 30 percent. Applicants must meet at least one of the following criteria: (A) the institution hosts an active ASHRAE Student Branch; (B) or the program is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET); (C) or the institution is accredited by an equivalent agency outside the USA that is a signatory of the Washington Accord; (D) or the institution has a signed Memorandum of Understanding with ABET. Three signed letters of recommendation are required.
