The PHCC Educational Foundation is expanding its scholarship program in 2026, offering 75 awards totaling $180,000 to help reduce the cost barrier of technical training. These scholarships are designed to support individuals pursuing plumbing and HVACR careers, whether they are apprentices, trade school students, or college students working toward industry-related degrees. Awards range from $1,500 to $10,000, with most set at $3,000, helping recipients stay on track with education and career advancement.

Applications are now open and require a short written submission along with a letter of recommendation from an employer, instructor, or academic advisor. All materials must be submitted by May 1. This expanded effort reflects a continued focus on strengthening the future workforce by keeping training accessible and career paths moving forward. Click here for more information.
