Appendix E Guidelines for Chapter Scholarship Program 1. Preface Any chapter wishing to establish a scholarship fund should do so by following the Operational Guide for Chapter Scholarships, as established by action of the Board of Directors on June 23, 1963. The action of the chapter shall be subject to approval by the Regional Chair, and copies of information pertaining to such approved action shall be delivered to headquarters staff for distribution to the Society's Student Activities Committee and the Board of Directors. Your ASHRAE Chapter Scholarship Program should be designed to encourage HVAC engineering education through the granting of scholarships. Each scholarship should be funded separately, and, whenever unspecified funds are made available to the chapter, the scholarship committee, once a year, should recommend action regarding the use of these unspecified funds to the chapter’s board of governors. A continuous effort should be made by the chapter to obtain contributions from any and all sources available, in order to increase all scholarship funds. Funds for scholarships may be solicited from businesses. Member assessments, special fundraising events, or voluntary contributions may be a source of funds. All for scholarships should be invested separately from other chapter funds and be deposited in an interest bearing account. Separate accounting records should be maintained for each scholarship fund. Funds for scholarships should be used only for the scholarships for which they are specified, and contributions, regardless of source, should be credited to the fund specified. If a contribution is not specified, it can become part of an unspecified scholarship fund. 2. General Guidelines All scholarships awarded by the chapter should satisfy one of the following requirements: The recipient should be in full-time attendance as an undergraduate at a post secondary educational institution. The recipient should be a graduate student at a recognized university.
