HVAC Excellence has announced the Home Depot is pledging more than $1 million toward scholarships to support HVACR and construction programs.
   This year's program will not only support individual students, but also the schools they attend. Specifically, $1,000 scholarships will be available to 500 trade school students to help them offset the cost of tuition, books and tools for their chosen trade. In addition, the schools of the scholarship recipients will receive matching funds of $1,000 for classroom tools from The Home Depot Foundation.
   Scholarship applications will be accepted through Apr. 30. The scholarship program is open to all students nationwide who are currently enrolled in a building and construction trade school program at a vocational/technical school, college, or university. Winners will be selected based on a combination of academic performance, leadership and work experience.
