Description: Does everyone on your cleft team know you by name? Have you had to tell your friends, teachers, or coaches, “Sorry, I can’t. I have surgery that week.”? Do you still remember the conversation your parents had with you about bullying before you started school? Is your cleft your superpower? If this sounds like you or someone you know, Smile Train, the world’s largest cleft charity, has a scholarship opportunity just for you. Founded in 1999, Smile Train innovated a unique “train the trainer” model that empowers healthcare workers the world over to make high-quality, comprehensive cleft care available to children in need in their own communities. We stand for the right to universal, local healthcare, the inherent dignity of all people, and fostering a truly global #CleftProud community. That’s why we started Smile Train’s College Scholarship Program: to help four cleft-affected American high school seniors each year receive a quality education and live their dreams. Smile Train’s College Scholarship Program is open to all US-based high school seniors born with a cleft. Interested students will fill out the application below and write short essays on their academic achievements, extracurricular activities, and how being cleft-affected has impacted their lives.
