Evaluate the ecological role bamboo has played throughout the course of human history and determine to what extent, if any, bamboo will contribute to a more sustainable planet.
Analyze the environmental benefits of using bamboo flooring vs other options as it applies to a reduction of humanity's carbon footprint.
Upon receipt of each application, our team will carefully review the essay and select the student who provides a thoughtful and insightful response, showing their true views on sustainability and how bamboo flooring can make a difference in helping the planet.
If selected, the winning student will receive $500 in scholarship funds. Like previously mentioned, these funds have to be used to pay for qualified expenses, including but not limited to tuition, books, and on-campus housing for the current academic year.
Scholarship programs are a great way for students to lessen their student loan debt and tuition costs, helping them focus more on their studies. When students apply to our scholarship program, they're applying for the chance to receive assistance with rising college expenses and interact with a leading company in the bamboo flooring industry.
Our team is excited to review all of the applications we receive for our scholarship program and make a difference in one student's academic career.

And why do customers love our products?
Well, bamboo flooring is a great alternative for hardwood flooring. Not only is it a more cost-effective option, but it's less harmful to the environment. In just five to seven years, both bamboo and eucalyptus are fully matured without the use of fertilizers or pesticides. And after we harvest the bamboo, the same plant grows back! We don't have to take up more space by planting more bamboo.
