Zicklin Contracting Restoration Awareness Scholarship

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.

The Core Question You Must Answer
“How can an integrated restoration plan simultaneously address immediate structural recovery, long-term water and fire resilience, compliance with HPD violations, and sustainable home renovation — without sacrificing affordability for the homeowner?”

We chose this topic because it sits at the crossroads of engineering, law, design, environmental science, and community planning. It’s a question without a simple answer, one that forces you to think about the connections between:

  • Water damage restoration
  • Fire damage and restoration
  • Basement waterproofing near me (preventive and emergency)
  • Bathroom remodeling contractors (as part of recovery work)
  • Home remodel contractors
  • HPD violations NYC (legal and safety compliance)
  • Home renovation NYC (balancing function, style, and safety)

You’ll need to think beyond textbook solutions — this is about systems, not silos.

Eligibility:

  • High school seniors, undergraduate, and postgraduate students in the USA or Canada.
  • Applicants must be enrolled or accepted at an accredited college, university, or institute.
