Changing Lives, One Future at a Time
At Circadia, we believe in more than just great skincare—we believe in empowering the next generation of beauty professionals. That’s why we’re proud to fund the Sage Michaela Lucas ‘Timing is Everything’ Scholarship in partnership with Beauty Changes Lives.
This scholarship is more than financial support—it’s a commitment to diversity, inclusivity, and affirmation in the beauty industry.
By investing in aspiring estheticians, we’re ensuring that talented students from all backgrounds have the opportunity to turn their passion into a career.
Together, we can shape the future of skincare—one student at a time.
each $5,000 Scholarship
is available to five qualifying recipients annually.
Spring Session is closed, but please come back for Fall Session launching September 1, 2025
Named after the daughter of our very own Michael Q. Pugliese, this scholarship was created to promote and celebrate diversity, inclusivity, and affirmation. We believe in the power and necessity of education, as stated by our CEO:

“Having early access to quality education can set students up for lifetime success. As a company committed to equality in education, Circadia has a responsibility to nurture and support under-represented esthetician students while helping the industry build a more diverse cohort of professionals.”
- Michael Q. Pugliese

This scholarship is open to any applicant who:

- Identifies as black, indigenous, or a person of color (BIPOC).
- Is a resident of the US.
