Operation HVAC
ETS recognizes the unique skills and discipline that veterans bring to the workforce, including perseverance, dedication, and discipline.
Unfortunately, there are also financial challenges that can come with transitioning to civilian life and pursuing further education after a career in the military. After their great bravery and sacrifice, veterans should have all the support they need to fulfill their dreams and pursue their ambitions. Investing in their education and training can express gratitude to veterans and empower them to achieve their career goals and contribute to their field with their expertise and dedication.
This scholarship was created to address the growing need for skilled HVAC technicians in the industry and to honor the service and dedication of military veterans and their families by supporting their pursuit of a career in HVAC.
Any high school or undergraduate student who is pursuing the trades may apply for this scholarship opportunity, but those who are pursuing HVAC and applicants who are veterans or the children or spouses of veterans are preferred.
To apply, tell us about your service or your family member’s service and how this has impacted you. Additionally, tell us what the military has taught you, how you think this will improve your work, and how you hope to make a difference for others.
Reflecting on your military service, or the service of a close family member, describe how this experience has shaped your values, work ethic, and sense of purpose. How have these qualities influenced your decision to pursue a career in the trades?
Discuss the specific skills and lessons you have gained from your military background (or family member’s service) that you believe will be valuable in your work.
How do you envision making a difference in the lives of others, particularly within the veteran community or underserved populations?
