Sweating Your Way to Success: The Dermadry Scholarship for Hyperhidrosis Students

Dermadry has returned for the fifth consecutive year with their Hyperhidrosis Scholarship. This competition welcomes students across the globe who are grappling with hyperhidrosis. This medical condition, which is defined by excessive perspiration, impacts an estimated 5% of the global population.

Hyperhidrosis presents a distinctive array of obstacles for students, substantially influencing their quality of life and hindering their capacity to perform daily routines and academic tasks. The persistent sweating through school uniforms, aversion to social engagements, and the battle to write on paper and laptops due to sweaty hands are among these difficulties. Additionally, it can exacerbate stress and anxiety, potentially leading to feelings of isolation and instances of bullying. Our goal is to eradicate the societal stigmatization surrounding excessive sweating and promote open conversations about hyperhidrosis! This is precisely why we're inviting you to share your journey with us! Assist us in heightening awareness around hyperhidrosis and diminishing the stigma attached to excessive sweating! We're urging students to step up and narrate their experience with hyperhidrosis by crafting a video that delves into how this condition influences their academics and everyday life.

The Dermadry Hyperhidrosis Scholarship

Launched in 2019, Dermadry’s Hyperhidrosis Scholarship is the first and only of its kind, that is a scholarship exclusively for students with hyperhidrosis.
Every year, Dermadry encourages students to come forward and share their hyperhidrosis story by creating a video that explores the impact hyperhidrosis has on their studies and daily life. Then, the scholarship is granted to a lucky winner to help with the extra costs incurred from being a student who suffers from excessive sweating.
