The 2021 Dermadry Hyperhidrosis Scholarship

For our third edition of the Dermadry Hyperhidrosis Scholarship, we asked students to record a video of themselves talking about their hyperhidrosis story and how excessive sweating has affected their daily life as a student. We received entries from all over the world from students dealing with excessive sweating in a variety of educational fields. Thank you to all those who came forward and shared their story to help us raise awareness of the effects hyperhidrosis can have on daily life and studies.

Student Life and Hyperhidrosis

Student life is stressful, and living with hyperhidrosis adds an extra layer of stress and unique challenges to an already stressful experience and life stage. Sweating through your clothes, trying to hide sweat marks, shying away from social activities, and/or struggling to write with a pen and paper or your laptop because of your sweaty hands are just some of the daily challenges students face. In addition to these unique challenges, hyperhidrosis is also linked to increased stress and anxiety levels, and can lead to isolation and bullying. Dermadry wants to end the stigma and get more people talking about hyperhidrosis so it can be normalized and more students feel comfortable seeking the help they need to succeed.

About 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. The scholarship is granted to one student every year to help with the extra costs incurred from being a student who suffers from excessive sweating.
