The first recipient of the "You Define Beauty Scholarship" is Ava Cassotis! She is a senior at East Brunswick High School and is going to futher her education at American University in the fall!
The "You Define Beauty Scholarship" is something I created to support an East Brunswick High School student who understands the importance of maintaining physical, mental, and emotional health. As an East Brunswick High School graduate and the founder of the nonprofit You Define Beauty, I wanted to offer this scholarship to help young individuals who value the power of body positivity, self-confidence, and personal growth. This scholarship is especially meaningful to me because, like many others, I’ve faced challenges with body image and self-worth. Through this award, I hope to uplift a student who embodies the values of self-empowerment and resilience, and who uses their own experiences to inspire others to embrace their unique qualities and reach their full potential. The recipient should be someone who is committed to living a healthy, balanced life and using their journey to make a positive impact on others.
