NYPGA helps fund college scholarships

The New York Propane Gas Association contributed $12,000 toward a new Hudson Valley Community College Foundation scholarship for students enrolled full time in the college’s Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technical Services (HVAC/R) Program. Four $1,500 scholarships will be awarded this fall to help provide more qualified, well-trained technicians to meet the labor needs of the growing propane industry, particularly in upstate New York. Recipients will be second-year, full-time HVAV/R students who demonstrate financial need, with preference given to those interested in propane technology. Students who maintain enrollment in the program may renew the scholarship for their final semester.
