This post has been updated.
Students or recent graduates (within the past two years) in a two- or four-year university/college, vocational apprenticeship, or other training program who are interested in green building can apply for a scholarship to attend the 2021 IBSx Virtual Experience for free.
IBSx will offer a plethora of online education, networking events and product discovery opportunities within a virtual environment. The Sustainability and Green Building IBS Scholarship provides an opportunity for students and recent graduates to be introduced to the world of high-performance homes and helps make connections to jumpstart their career.
Recipients will receive one full conference ticket for the four-day virtual event (Feb. 9-12, 2021), which includes all education sessions and access to the expo "floor." Additionally, scholarship recipients will have the chance to meet virtually one-on-one with veterans in the green building industry. There's a ton of great information to explore, and all of the events will be available through March 31, 2021, in case you miss anything.
Even if you are not a student or recent graduate yourself, you can still get involved:
- Encourage a young building professional or current student interested in high-performance homes and sustainable building to apply.
- Share this opportunity on your social media channels, and tag #IBS2021 and #greenIBSscholarship.
- Make a tax-deductible donation to help more students attend an in-person International Builders' Show in the future. Learn more about contributor benefits.
