Mold Busters Scholarship

Mold Busters Scholarship

Ottawa-based mold removal company, Mold Busters, is launching a biannual writing contest for Canadian college and university students in order to raise awareness about poor indoor air quality (IAQ) and its effects on human health. We invite students from any program in any Canadian post-secondary institution to submit an expository essay on the subject of mold, asbestos or indoor air quality in general. Students can explore the causes of air quality problems (moisture intrusion, humidity, poor ventilation, etc.) as well as their effects on building structures and human health. They can discuss effective remediation techniques as well as offer up practical prevention tips. Please read our Topic Examples and Eligibility Criteria for obtaining precise information and at the end of the page you can find form to upload the text document.

Win a scholarship with your brilliant talent!
