ASHRAE Scholarships

Distribution of Scholarship Funds To be non-taxable, scholarship money may be used only for tuition and materials required for classes.  It cannot be used for non-academic expenses including room and board.  The recipient and the party awarding the scholarship are responsible for ensuring the money is only used for academic purposes.  The easiest way is for scholarship money to go directly to the school and be credited to the student’s account. Contact the school’s Financial Aid department to find out how the check should be written and what documentation needs to go with it so the money goes into the student’s account.
