Applications are reviewed by the Baltimore Chapter of ASHRAE Scholarship Committee anonymously. Points are awarded based on an each applicant's demonstration of the above criteria. Items 1 through 5 are weighted greater than items 6 through 9, although all criteria are important in consideration of awards. Scholarship funds are made available to students directly during the first quarter of the calendar year.
