The 2018 $1,000 Scholarship

Facing Acne very much believes the power of paying it forward, and that includes helping others get a good education. I’ve personally faced challenges in life, both professionally and personally, that I wouldn’t have been able to overcome if it weren’t for my education and college experience. It’s my goal to contribute what I can to help others be prepared for whatever life may throw at them. So I’m very excited to bring you Facing Acne’s second annual scholarship for the 2018-2019 school year. Applicants who meet the guidelines below may enter for a $1,000 scholarship.
