April 2025; Darren Wingerak Memorial Scholarship

We have established a Scholarship in memorial of Darren Wingerak. This Scholarship is targeted at Usask engineering students with an interest in the built environment. Once 30,000USD is raised, 1,500USD will be awarded to students by ASHRAE Society as recommended by our Chapter. This amount is not capped, and for every 10,000USD the principal is increased, an additional 500USD is rewarded. Until this scholarship is endowed, all RP Donations by the Chapter will go to this, follow steps below to contribute! 

To donate directly, please go to – https://www.ashrae.org/about/invest-in-the-rp-campaign – and make the selection indicated below. (ASHARE Chapter Scholarships > other > ‘Saskatoon Chapter – Darren Wingerak Memorial Scholarship’)
