Last season, SyFy ignited the imaginations of genre fans everywhere with it's wildly popular make-up effects competition program FACE/OFF. The show enters its second season on January 11th, and there is no better time to share details on Hollywood make-up legend and FACE/OFF judge Ve Neill's scholarship fund for hopeful monster makers who want to hone their craft under the tuteledge of one of Tinseltown's best.

The scholarship is an annual award presented by Cinema Makeup School and Fangoria Magazine celebrating the career and craft of legendary makeup artists. This Scholarship has been introduced to identify those newcomers to makeup who are dedicated and motivated by passion of their craft to spearhead the next vanguard of professional makeup artists.

The 2011 Legends of Makeup Scholarship has been named in honor of Ve Neill. Ve Neill has been nominated for Oscars a total of eight times and won for BEETLEJUICE, MRS. DOUBTFIRE, and ED WOOD.  Her other nominated films include BATMAN RETURNS, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, HOFF, PIRATES OF THE CARRIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL, and PIRATES OF THE CARRIBBEAN: AT WORLD’S END.  

The Legends of Makeup Scholarship will consist of a $10,000 scholarship award to be applied towards any Cinema Makeup School program at their Los Angeles campus, and will be awarded to one person who is looking to further his or her education in the area of makeup artistry. The selected recipient of the 2011 Scholarship will be officially notified by certified mail.
