The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Here at ArianaLashes, we know the importance of school but also know that the road to pursuing a diploma can be plagued with a lot of expenses. It can be a tough journey ahead financially, especially on your own. Expenses ranging from school supplies, to rent expenses, to the actual food you have to buy so you can survive those harrowingly long weeknights studying for pop quizzes; school life never seems to have an end when it comes to financial costs.

We are proud to open an annual contest with the goal of assisting students with their academic expenses wherever they may be in the world. Write an essay or record yourself in a video presentation, and you may win a 500 USD scholarship for any school of your choice! The challenge we are offering is a simple one.
