OBEC Scholarships – Enter Now!
One of the Ontario Building Envelope Council’s main goals is to support educational programs to the benefit of the building community.
In the promotion of this goal, OBEC is pleased to provide academic scholarships for students in post-secondary education programs where building science/envelope is studied.
Three scholarships are available each year – Two for undergraduate students in their last year of study, and one for a graduate student in support of his or her research.
The OBEC scholarships are awarded based on more than just academic merit. Factors such as meritorious contribution to OBEC and showing an interest in pursuing a career in the field of building science are also taken into consideration.
The scholarship award includes:
- A monetary prize,
- A one-year mentorship by a building science professional who is a member of OBEC, including guidance on technical issues and career advice.
