Chastity Corbett Youth Scholarship

The Chastity Corbett Youth Scholarship—offered by the Social Butterflies Foundation—is a beacon of hope for graduating seniors in Virginia living with lupus or fibromyalgia, or children of survivors, who are pursuing higher education in Fall 2026. Applicants must be attending an accredited institution, have a minimum 3.0 GPA, and demonstrate financial need based on household income and family size.

Named in honor of our founder, Chastity Corbett—affectionately known as The Lupus Conqueror—this scholarship celebrates resilience and the power of determination. Despite her own battles with lupus, Chastity has dedicated her life to advocacy, support, and uplifting others. Inspired by her mantra, “Butterflies don’t let each other fly alone,” this award reminds students that lupus and fibromyalgia are words—not sentences—and that their dreams are still within reach.

We encourage survivors or children of survivors to rise above limitations, chase their aspirations, and believe in their ability to spread their wings and soar. With courage, hard work, and community support, there is no goal beyond your grasp.
