Awards Details:
Purpose:
The purpose of the fund is to assist students in completing their education for a career in the heating, ventilation, air
conditioning and refrigerating industry (HVACR) and to assist in maintaining a higher caliber of HVACR industry
personnel.
The fund provides bursaries to persons who require financial assistance in completing training in an accepted course
directly related to the HVACR industry. Applicants for the bursaries may come from the community or vocational
college systems, or through industry sources such as the provincial apprenticeship programmes.
Eligibility Requirements
Applicants must be seeking assistance to complete training in an accepted course directly related to the HVACR
industry.
Consideration will be given to applicants in financial need based on the assessment of the student awards officer or
equivalent. As our funds are limited, priority will be given to those already enrolled in a programme but their financial
circumstances may force them to drop out short of completion. Applicants should be willing to allow HRAI the
privilege of being informed regarding their successful completion of the course.
Acceptable Programmes
The assistance is intended for students in courses directly related to the HVACR industry. These subjects must
constitute the principle focus of the programme, such as sheet metal, refrigeration technology, gas fitter, mechanical
engineering, etc. Programmes which only touch on these technologies (such as power engineering) are marginal to the
industry and are not acceptable.
To Apply
Applications must be submitted by the student awards officer or equivalent of a recognized educational institution. An
outline of the educational programme must be submitted with the application. Information on the costs involved must
also accompany the required application form. Copies of the application form are available from the educational
institution’s student awards/bursary officer.
A letter from the recipient must also accompany the application which should outline the interest and reasons for
seeking a career in the HVACR industry.
Application Deadlines and Amount of Award
Applications are reviewed twice a year. The deadlines are February 28th and November 30th. The current value of
each bursary is $1000. A response can be expected within six weeks of the deadline.
Bursaries will be awarded by the Orvil Davie Fund Committee only when suitable candidates are determined and
funds are available.
