WHAT IS FAB AID?
FAB AID is a student debt relief initiative from First Aid Beauty. First Aid Beauty is committing $1 Million to pay back student loans (up to $100,000 per recipient). Applicants must fill out an application and submit a video sharing their student loan story.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR FAB AID?
The FAB AID contest is open to legal residents of the 50 United States & the District of Columbia and Canada (excluding Quebec) who have graduated or will graduate from an accredited undergraduate program (4-year, 2-year or trade institution) between January 2011 and August 2021. Excludes graduate school. Please see full rules for more specific details.
WHY IS FAB AID LIMITED TO RECENT GRADUATES?
We understand that student debt is a crippling issue for so many people. FAB AID aims to impact the ability to pursue life and career aspirations in the years immediately following graduation. We heard from potential applicants in our first year of this program that they would like us to broaden who is eligible to apply. We listened and have expanded the contest to a 10-year eligibility period and have opened it up to include 2-year undergraduate programs and trade institutions.
