MT. LAUREL, N.J. — The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) — also known as the HVAC Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Association — is offering scholarships for its 2023 Fall Technical Conference, scheduled for September 7-9 at the Embassy Suites in Grapevine, Texas, just outside of Dallas.

Scholarships are available for first-time attendees only, and NADCA membership is not required. Those interested should submit a complete application here; the deadline is Thursday, August 10.

Selected recipients will receive one complimentary registration to the conference, which is designed to provide education to duct-cleaning technicians at every career stage. The conference features hands-on training that immerses attendees into real-world scenarios to develop practical expertise and skills. Technicians will work with tools, equipment, and technologies specific to the HVAC cleaning, inspection, and restoration industry.

In addition, technicians seeking Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS) or Certified Ventilation Inspector (CVI) certifications will have the opportunity to participate in pre-conference training and take the exam for each certification.

“On behalf of NADCA's Membership Committee and Fall Technical Conference Committee, I’m excited to announce these scholarship opportunities for first-time attendees of our Fall Technical Conference,” said Jodi Araujo, NADCA's CEO. “Education and training are core values, and we hope these scholarships will provide an opportunity for deserving duct-cleaning technicians to experience all the technical education and hands-on training offered at Fall Tech.

“Our Fall Technical Conference encourages technicians to roll up their sleeves and get actively involved in the learning process by working directly with the tools, equipment, and technologies that are used daily in our industry,” Araujo continued. “With hands-on training, technicians dive right into the action, and develop expertise and technical skills that can be applied directly to day-to-day job tasks.”

The scholarship program is sponsored by long-time NADCA partner Sunbelt Rentals.
