The DaVinci Body Sculpting Women in STEM Scholarship

Our Scholarship

Dr. John Bergeron and Lori Lemon Bergeron founded DaVinci Body Sculpting based on their desire to promote and provide the most advanced and least invasive aesthetic procedures to their clients. Recent advances in science, technology, and biomedical engineering have accelerated the field of non-surgical aesthetics, including the non-surgical fat reduction industry, which is DaVinci’s sole focus.

We have a passion for science and technology and we are inspired when we see new techniques and new inventions coming to light. Women are often part of the aesthetics narrative but are not often highlighted in their incredible contributions to science and technology in which the industry benefits. We want to change that.

We have set up a $2,500 scholarship program for women that have a passion for science and technology.

We understand that women from any background and from any area of study can have the ingenuity, creativity and drive to further science, therefore, this opportunity is open to undergraduate women studying any major in the US.

DaVinci’s annual scholarship program has been created with the purpose of helping women succeed in STEM fields, collating inspiring essays from the minds of our future innovators and being a part of the conversation that highlights the contributions women have made and are yet to make in STEM.
