Technical School Grant Program Application Opens Sept 1!

For the third year, PERC is offering up to $10,000 to educational institutions or career centers in the United States that are willing and able to expand their HVAC or plumbing classroom lab and curriculum to include propane specific material and hands-on resources. Applications for the Technical School Grant Program (TSGP) open Friday, September 1, 2023.

Each awarded school must appoint a Propane Advisor. The Advisor’s role is to not only make sure the appliances and equipment are installed correctly, but also to build a relationship with the school and the next generation of propane professionals. They can offer their unique perspectives to help educate students about propane applications and the career opportunities that propane can offer.

Reach out to the local schools in your area that you think would benefit from implementing a propane specific program and encourage them to apply! Become their Propane Advisor to ensure a successful implementation and continuation of the curriculum and equipment.

For more information on the requirements of being a Propane Advisor, explore the Participant Commitment tab on the Technical School Grant Program page. Please contact Elena Bennett at PERC with questions.
