FALLS CHURCH, VA — The Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors—National Association (PHCC) Educational Foundation is proud to announce HomeServe as the newest award sponsor for the PHCC scholarship program. HomeServe will be funding five scholarships this year, with each award providing $3,000 in support for students pursuing plumbing or HVAC apprenticeship or service technician training.

HomeServe

HomeServe is a leading home repair solutions company with nearly five million customers across North America, offering optional protection plans that help protect homeowners against the expense and inconvenience of plumbing, electrical, HVAC and other home repair emergencies. The company partners with professional contractors to provide these services to consumers.

“We are always looking for ways to support recruiting and training the technicians that our contractor partners need and that allow our business to continue to serve customers across the country,” said Myles Meehan, SVP of Public Relations at HomeServe. “Partnering with the PHCC Educational Foundation on scholarships also fits perfectly with HomeServe’s broader Skilled Trades Initiative, aimed at strengthening and expanding the skilled labor force.”

Pathways to Success

New hires in the trades are often asked to contribute to covering the costs of their technical training at the time when their entry-level wages are the lowest. The Foundation’s scholarship program is designed to help students afford the training and education they need to build their earnings potential. This smooths the student’s financial path to pursue a trades career and lowers the risk for the employer to commit to their training process—resulting in a better outcome for both.

The PHCC Foundation plans to award 65 scholarships in 2025, with funding of up to $152,000 available to award winners. The application deadline was May 1st, and a committee of Foundation contractor volunteers are currently reviewing and scoring the applications. The applicants with the highest average scores are paired with the available awards.
