PERC’s HVAC Technical School Grant Program

With the HVAC Technical School Grant Program, schools can receive extra funding to give students enhanced, real-world experience with propane, and better prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow. Through this program, your local school can receive up to $10,000 of grant money by incorporating a provided curriculum into your program, and completing a few other requirements like acquiring specific propane equipment and appliances that will take hands-on learning to new heights.

Technical schools and community colleges are eligible for the $5,000 program or a $10,000 grant for the 80-hour HVAC and Plumber Technical Training curriculum and accompanying list of appliances and equipment.

High schools are eligible for a $5,000 grant to incorporate the eight-hour Overview of Propane Distribution Systems curriculum and accompanying list of appliances and equipment. This is a condensed foundational propane systems program.

Applications for the 2026 Program are open through December 19, 2025. Learn more and apply here.
