Carrier and Adams Heating and Cooling recently announced Precious Adams, of Crookston, is one of this year’s recipients of the $1,500 Carrier Distributor’s Education Foundation Scholarship.
This is the third year in a row that Precious has been awarded this scholarship. The scholarship is available to dependents of Carrier HVAC dealers and contractors and their employees. Precious was able to apply and receive this award because her father’s company, Adams Heating, and Cooling, has had a tenured business partnership with Carrier. When selecting finalists, qualities such as academic performance, leadership, motivation, and extracurricular involvement are taken into consideration.
Since first receiving this award in 2016, Precious has continued to excel tremendously in her studies and involvement. In 2017, she spent her summer studying abroad in Salamanca, Spain, at Mester School of Spanish Language to contribute to her Spanish Language minor. In addition, she studied at Nelson Mandela University in Port Elizabeth, South Africa during her spring 2018 semester. While in South Africa, she studied cultural diversity and volunteered at the SOS Children’s Village Orphanage where she spent time teaching English language fundamentals to the children.
Precious is now attending her junior year of college at St. Cloud State University, majoring in Global Business Management and minoring in the Spanish Language. On campus, she is involved in the SCSU Run club, and Travel and Tourism club. Part-time, she works as a desk assistant through work study. She is interviewing for internship opportunities for the summer of 2019, with hopes to work towards her goal of finding a career in management at a global corporation.
