Water Damage Restoration Awareness Scholarship

Disasters never strike in isolation. A burst pipe can flood a basement, warp floors, weaken structural beams, and create electrical hazards. A kitchen fire can require tearing down walls, replacing plumbing, addressing hidden mold, and clearing legal violations before the property is safe again. Restoration is never just “drying things out” or “putting up new drywall” — it’s an intricate choreography of science, law, design, and human resilience. The Water Damage Restoration Awareness Scholarship exists for one reason: to find the student who can think about this complexity — not in fragments, but as a single interconnected challenge — and turn it into a story worth reading.
