Yes. A resume PDF is required. Resumes are used only for merit award selection and program administration, not for hiring decisions. Do not include SSN, and a home address is not required. ### Will selected recipients be publicly announced? Selected recipients may be invited to participate in an optional announcement or spotlight. Participation is optional. ### Is this a job application or university tuition reimbursement? No. This is a merit award application for a Day 3 HVAC license. It is not a job application and it is not tuition reimbursement to your college or university. ### Will I owe taxes? The award may constitute taxable income to the recipient at the fair market value of the license ($1,899). Recipient is solely responsible for any federal, state, or local taxes, including any state tax filings that may apply in the recipient's state. Day 3 Academy does not provide tax advice. For the current one-time $1,899 award structure, Day 3 Academy does not expect to request a W-9 or issue a federal Form 1099-MISC if no additional reportable payments are made to the same recipient in the same calendar year. Day 3 Academy may request tax documentation and issue required tax forms if required by law, if the facts change, or based on CPA guidance. ### Do I need to submit a W-9 or SSN to apply? No. Day 3 Academy does not request SSN or tax forms in the application. If tax documentation is later required for a selected recipient, it will be requested after selection through a secure process and not by email. ### Do I have to have a LinkedIn profile? Yes. A LinkedIn profile is required for eligibility. Adding the credential to LinkedIn after completion is optional, but encouraged. ### Do I have to post on LinkedIn? No. Posting is optional but encouraged. ### What if I run into issues or the program is not a fit? We take feedback seriously. You will have an internal feedback path (survey + calls). If something is off, tell us so we can address it. ### Is this sponsored by LinkedIn? No. This program is run by Day 3 Academy. LinkedIn is not sponsoring or administering it. ![1](https://www.day3academy.com/hubfs/1.png) Day 3 Academy LLC PO Box 50184 Knoxville, TN 37950  sales@day3academy.com © 2026 Day 3 Academy LLC All Rights Reserved |  [Terms of Service](https://www.day3academy.com/terms) | [Privacy Policy](https://www.day3academy.com/privacy) | [Cookie Policy](https://www.day3academy.com/cookies) | [Accessibility Statement](https://www.day3academy.com/accessibility) [Powered by Atlas - a B2B SaaS HubSpot theme](https://www.kalungi.com/atlas-hubspot-theme-for-b2b-saas-software)
