Having just studied the White trailer, I think it's pretty clear that she got the scar from the Giant Armor. To be specific, when it punched her in the face.

During the fight, she takes several blows and recovers reasonably easily; but the punch to the face hurt, and her singing of the memory alludes to that. Likewise, removing the images of her singing, and focusing on just the combat, she has no scar; until the punch, where she recovers unsteadily, and there's blood down the left side of her face.

And given that those trained to use aura can heal themselves scarless; it leaves one to assume that Weiss chooses to keep the scar symbolically. Purely speculatively, it could represent several things at once.

Otherwise picture perfect in life and appearance, the scar marks her life choice.

Coming from a family of privilege, the scar marks her as damaged regardless.

Despite incredible skill in combat, the scar is a reminder of her fraility. This is practically confirmed when watching her tactical choices during combat; she isn't too proud to run when the option is available.
