A module for a gas turbine engine comprises a frame and a frame cooling system. The frame includes a circumferentially distributed plurality of radially extending struts. Each strut is joined to an outer frame section at an outer frame junction, and joined to an inner frame section at an inner frame junction. The frame cooling system comprises an inlet, a plurality of cooling air passages extending from the inlet radially through each of the plurality of frame struts; and an outlet. The outlet is in fluid communication with at least one of the cooling air passages and includes a film cooling hole formed through the frame proximate the outer frame junction.
