The EGIA Foundation operates grassroots communications and awareness campaigns to reach young students, their parents and educators to share information about the rewarding, in-demand and well-paying career paths available in our industry. Moreover, the EGIA Foundation’s H.E.R.O. Scholarship Program awards up to 20 HVAC students every year with scholarships totaling $2,500 apiece to help mitigate cost as a hurdle for passionate people interesting in pursuing career paths in the trades. Working in tandem with individual contractors as well as Contractor University powered by EGIA, a national membership organization serving thousands of home services contractors, the EGIA Foundation connects HVAC program graduates with successful contracting businesses eagerly seeking people to hire.
