AHRI Announces Rees Scholarship Award Winners

In late August, the Rees Scholarship Committee announced $44,500 in scholarships to 26 students, including one veteran, studying to become technicians in the HVACR and water heating industry. The Rees Scholarship Foundation is pleased to help these hardworking and dedicated students as they begin their educational journey in the industry.

Since the Rees Scholarship Foundation was founded in 2003, it has awarded more than $380,000 in scholarships to more than 200 deserving students and instructors.

The Clifford H. “Ted” Rees, Jr. Scholarship Foundation was established to assist with the recruitment and competency of future heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) technicians by awarding scholarships to qualified students who are enrolled in an institutionally accredited school.
