Make Sure You Fill Out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®)

We encourage every prospective student to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). This is the perfect place to start looking for funding for your education! This free application will tell you how much federal aid you may be eligible for and start the process of applying for grants and low-interest educational loans.

Once you submit the form online, you should get a Student Aid Report in about a week. This report will summarize the information you provided and an estimate of your financial aid package. The data will be sent to the school you listed on the application, and our financial aid team will review your financial aid package with you. If your package doesn’t cover the total cost of your tuition, our team will review your options with you.

Scholarships. Scholarships are another funding option that you don’t have to repay. There are many scholarship opportunities for aspiring beauty professionals. We offer the William T. Pressley Scholarship for cosmetology students every year. You can search online for other scholarship options, such as those through the Beauty Changes Lives organization.
Private loans. You may be eligible for a private loan to help cover the cost of your education. You can apply for personal loans through banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions. Make sure you understand the repayment obligations before signing a contract.

In addition to grants, scholarships, and loans, we offer payment plan options. Talk to your enrollment advisor about these options and how they work. Our team will help you explore all of your financial aid and payment plan options so you can make your training as affordable as possible!
