Carrier, Bryant Name Scholarship Recipients

INDIANAPOLIS, July 16, 2020 – Carrier and Bryant have announced the 25 recipients of this year’s Carrier & Bryant Distributors’ Education Foundation scholarships. Scholarship recipients will receive this support for their college or vocational education during the 2020-2021 school year. Carrier and Bryant, world leaders in high-technology heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration solutions, are part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), a leading global provider of innovative heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, fire, security and building automation technologies.

“We’re pleased to offer support to our contractors as they prepare their scholarship recipients for success through the Carrier & Bryant Distributors’ Education Foundation,” said David Meyers, vice president, Sales and Distribution, Carrier and Bryant. “Our contractors serve a vital role in our business and this is a special way for us to be able to acknowledge all that they do and say ‘thank you’ for their expertise and support.”

Established in 1981, the Carrier & Bryant Distributors’ Education Foundation was created to commemorate the late William A. Blees for his many significant contributions to Carrier distributors. Today, the foundation continues to serve the children, grandchildren and employees of dealers and contractors while also honoring our industry’s founder, Dr. Willis Carrier.

A post-secondary scholarship fund is a fitting memorial because Dr. Carrier attended Cornell University on a full, four-year merit scholarship. He earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, became a successful inventor and business person, and, in 1902, invented the founding principles of modern air conditioning. Dr.

Carrier was a consummate scientist and an educator, but might not have even attended college without financial assistance.

Scholarships from the foundation are available to children, grandchildren and employees of Carrier and Bryant dealers and contractors and their employees throughout the U.S. and Canada. Scholarship finalists are selected based on their demonstrated performance in school. Leadership, motivation and involvement in extracurricular activities are also taken into consideration.
