Cosmetology Grants
With the need for education and skilled training rising day by day, colleges are offering various courses but at a hefty price.
It is practically not possible for all students to get scholarships and merits.
The needs and career interests of many a student would remain unfulfilled if grants were not available.
Cosmetology is one such field that has surpassed its commercial expectations.
The need of the day is an ultra-competitive arts-styled ambiance wherein the hairstylists and makeup professionals of next generation study in co-op style education.
The small town style beauty salons may remain a mainstay on the streets of U.S.A. with its half-baked beauty school trainee experimentation. But the career oriented students of today are aiming for a training caliber that can prepare them for exciting careers and elite positions in film and fashion industry.
With only a selected few making their mark in these industries, the others still cater to the general public and are driving careers and salaries to a professional level.
The demand for these high quality stylists is continuously increasing in the general market category.
What are Cosmetology School grants?
A cosmetology school grant or scholarship can be considered a financial “gift” which the student can use to study in cosmetology school. These grants are called as gifts or scholarships as they don’t have to be paid back. The funds are generally directed to the school and any amount remaining after paying for the course fees is given to the student.
Studying cosmetology in prestigious schools, or even the regular reputable schools for that matter, will surely not come cheap. A regular course in cosmetology will cost anywhere between $6500 and $10000.
The courses include hair-dressing skills like cutting, perming, coloring, styling and roller setting as well as make-up techniques.
Students opting for cosmetology course, while still in high school or college, should discuss with their school’s adviser/counselor on the financial help they can get.
The counselors have a general list of grants and it would be more helpful to ask them for grants specific to beauty schools. If you have enrolled in any cosmetology school, they would also have counselors who can help.
Most grant applications can be completed online and the process is quite simple.
Federal financial aid can also be availed of in the form of loans; however these loans need to be repaid while grants are normally gifts and need not be repaid.
The guidelines for cosmetology courses and the accreditation for schools is regulated by states and for the financial aid to be availed the schools should meet state-specific licensing requirements.
The NACCAS – National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts & Science monitors the accredited schools. Not all states insist on high-school diploma for students aspiring for a career in cosmetology, some states also accept GED equivalent.
Some cosmetology schools insist on admission test before enrolling. The cosmetology program also varies in different schools spanning anywhere from a few months to 2 years depending on the specialization of the study.
How are the Grants awarded?
Cosmetology school grants and scholarships are most often awarded on the basis of needs and disadvantaged backgrounds. Some grants are awarded on the basis of merits. Talent also plays a very big role and the grades and potential of the student can get them a free or discounted ride in reputed cosmetology schools. Your past grades in high school and college definitely do matter.
Getting good grades in school and college increases you chances of winning the grant and scholarship. Larger technical schools will have an edge in awarding these grants while compared to specialized schools.
How to apply for cosmetology grants?
While the financial assistance in traditional colleges and universities is quite marked and easy to approach, the same cannot be said about cosmetology schools. Traditional colleges have educational speakers, high-school counselors and other resources at their disposal, students aspiring for career in cosmetology will have to carve their own way out.
- The first step is to find a cosmetology school that suits your requirements and enquire if they have their own scholarship program or participate in a state-based, federal or corporate supported grant program.
- Apply for the grant or scholarship through interactive forms and forward the same through the participating program administrator.
Most schools and aid programs accept online applications through their specific web-sites.
Types of cosmetology grants
Cosmetology grants based on merit: The applicant should be able to demonstrate talent and skills in artistic make-up, hair design and other abilities to win these grants.
Cosmetology grants based on need: The applicant should be interested in following a career in cosmetology but is restrained by financial circumstances. These grants may cover all or part of the tuition fees and provide extra to cover living costs.
Cosmetology grants based on sociology: the main aspect for obtaining this grant is to fulfill qualifying requirements like religion, race, national origin etc. applicants are filtered based on ethnicity and the final recipient gets due consideration based on other additional factors.
Institutional Cosmetology grants: These grants are school specific and the applicant should study in the same school or college to get the requisite grant.
General Cosmetology grants: This covers the other scholarship programs provided by salons or corporate, beauty schools and specific websites.
Where to apply for Cosmetology grants?
Students aspiring to study in cosmetology schools can apply for funding from The American Cosmetology Education (ACE) Grant provided by American Association of Cosmetology Schools along with corporate sponsors. Getting a grant from here will depend on:
- school you want to attend and their participation in this grant
- the status of your interview and application in the chosen school
- and your financial status
Since most cosmetology programs may be booked you may have a waiting period especially if you are seeking grant subsidies.
Some of the grants awarded through the ACE is given below

Oregon Student Assistance Commission

“Education Rocks” Scholarship
A scholarship amount of $250 is awarded to the winning candidate
Massage Magazine Scholarship Program
This is given to five students studying for their massage therapy license to the tune of $1000 each.
There are institutes that give a skin-deep value to cosmetology and teach their students the chemistry and biology of skin and hair care. These institutes too provide grants that are supported by corporate giants.
A classical example of this is the Cosmetology program at Southern Westchester. Toyota International has granted a huge sum to this school to put up a technologically updated laboratory.
This lab which was installed with a investment of $10000 helps students study the art of cosmetology at a very scientific level with the skin types being studied at microscopic levels and research supported by experiments in chemistry. Students studying at this school can avail grants and discounts from Toyota to complete their courses.
One other option to finance your cosmetology education is federal financing. There are various types of federal financing available through accredited cosmetology schools.
Federal Pell Grant
Pell Grant can be used as a foundation for financial assistance and supplemented by other sources. Under this grant money is paid out annually, the amount disbursed is based on various aspects of the student’s education including financial situation. Amounts sanctioned under Pell Grants need not be repaid.
FSEOG – Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
Sanctioning of this grant is based solely on availability of funds and the winning students don’t need to repay the grant. Funds are distributed by the Department of Education to schools participating in the above program and students can apply for the same through their respective schools.
To be eligible for this grant, the students should have extreme financial need and other monetary assistance the student receives will also be considered.
FSL – Federal Stafford Loan
This was earlier issued as Guaranteed Student Loan. This is a low interest loan that students can avail through external lending institutions and agencies with a guaranteed repayment by the government. Stafford Loans come in two forms – subsidized and unsubsidized. Under the subsidized scheme, the interest on the loan availed is paid by the government while the student is still in school and for 6 months after course completion.
FPLUS – Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students
This is an alternative loan and aims at helping parents provide for the educational expense of their children. This fund is aimed at helping parents secure themselves against borrowing on their assets and properties.
G.I. Bill
People who have been in the military can avail their G.I. Bill to fund their cosmetology education. This bill is designed to meet the expenses of vocational and education training. However these grants are school and state specific and cannot be availed at all places.
Beyond Grants
What you do need to be careful is about the grant you are applying for. Some grants need to be paid back immediately (after the completion of your course) while some are given as gifts and don’t need to be repaid. Apart from grants and scholarships, the cosmetology industry is also brimming with sponsorships, contests and similar financial-aid opportunities mostly supported by corporate companies that can be availed of with proper planning, research and timely application.
The other thing you will need to remember is these grants and scholarships, as many as you win, will still not be able to pay off all the expenses of your tuition fees, food and lodging expenses.
After due consideration of the amounts you have won through grants, you may need to apply for loans from other sources. Your school counselor will be able to help you in this regard and guide you to low interest loans with flexible repayment terms. Some good examples of these are loans from Salle Mae and the Student Loan option from Citibank Student Loan Division.
These lending institutions give a grace period of up to six months after completion to start the loan repayment program.
However these loans should only be a last option after all the grants and federal loan options have been exhausted.
Career options
After due completion of a course in cosmetology, there are various places the student can be employed in. The most lucrative field for cosmetologists is undoubtedly the fashion and film industry.
Apart from this cosmetologists depending on the course they have specialized can be employed as hair-dresser and hair-stylist, barbers, skin care specialists, manicurists and pedicurists, shampooers etc. Advanced courses in cosmetology help you get employed as aroma therapist, cosmetician, makeup artist, massage therapist, film and theatre hair specialist as well as a career in Electrology.
You can find a job almost as soon as you are out of the cosmetology school, and some schools even have placement options. If you are really good at your work, you can even get a corporate to finance your business proposition with specific product and branding support.

October 7th, 2011 at 8:29 pm
I enrolled to begin class in Jan 2012 and have to secure grants/scholarships to fund school. At 39, I have decided to pursue something fun and creative, and not just a job. Many scholarships are for recent grads, but what about the moms that are returning to school while raising their children. Financially we carry more load than a teenager, yet have less opportunities. Is there something more for us to benefit from?
October 12th, 2011 at 6:59 am
I am seeking some assistance with paying the tuition for Regency Beauty Institute in Greenfield, Wisconsin. I see the list of several grants and scholarships, but I do not know how I go about applying or being considered for any of them. I see other comments include details about their personal situations, so I am guessing I need to do the same, for that appears to be part of the process. Therefore, I am 36 years old, married and have 3 children. I do have a degree, but unfortunately it is in real estate, and of course that is not a promising career field in this economy.
My most recent job downsized their staff, and I was part of the cut. I do not qualify for unemployment, and we are struggling to make ends meet. All of our savings went to pay for the burial of my father, who passed away unexpectedly in April. He had no life insurance, savings, or anything. I being an only child had the burden of taking on his expenses, and I am still indebted to the funeral home. To make matters worse, I cannot find a job in my field of expertise.
I ultimately have decided to return to school for cosmetology because it has always interested me, and I know it is a career I would enjoy doing, as well as it is stable, for which is what my family needs.
We are on food stamps and at risk of losing our home, and I do not want to see my children uprooted because I cannot provide for them as I should. I really need to find a way to make paying for my tuition possible so I can have a future for myself and my family. I only qualify for the Pell grant, which of course will not be enough, so we really need some assistance. I hope this comment and website will lead me in the right direction, or be the answer to our prayers.

There are only 3 Nail Tech. schools in my area. Two of them are over 30 miles away and I have no way there. The other one is within 5 miles and the total cost is $1675.00. I NEED to start over. I have a 13 year old daughter and recently lost my job. To date I have applied for 810 positions with only 1 interview granted. I did not go to college so I have no BA Degree. However, I would think my experience would be enough!. My mother was living with me and shared in the household expense but she passed after a 7 week struggle with Lung Cancer. I have to take care of my daughter. I need to change my career to a no fail industry so we can be secure. I need $1675 to attend school. I will even opt for a sponsor so I can get my Nail Tech License. If anyone knows how, what, when or where PLEASE HELP US! sheilareed319@yahoo.com. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!

I am a student at a Private Cosmetology Institution who does not offer any Scholarship insensitive and I encourage your request in granting me some funding to support my education and endowment to promote my study here as successful as it is right now. Our class requires us to plan, develop, and execute as Stylist and to become Career Oriented and to do so, my anticipation on your organization/foundation support could be most rewarding to me in attending promotions of Hair Shows, purchasing most needed appliances (not included in Kit), obtaining hair supplies needed to demonstrate hair care for Clients we services on the Clinic Floor and to prepare me to go before the State Board with the necessary tools or equipment at passing to achieve my Masters License in Cosmetology. My seven hundred (700) hours is significant to me and reaching the required one thousand/five hundred (1500) is very hard because individual assistance is much needed. We are able to receive credits toward any participation or attendance at any function. I previously have a BS Degree in Business Ad and disable and not able to work and as you possibly know that with a degree; one is not eligible for any Hope Grants and more less, none other. By my petition for donations from this particular business for monetary gifts, a sponsor or even sample hair products in Promotional Products that you may be aware to be benefit to Cosmetology Industry. If your foundation is interested in donating to my being a candidate, I could greatly appreciate your input. All donations would be recognized as donated from your establishment at the institution, in the resident community newsletter and possibly in the local newspaper (if my ability to interest them in a human-interest story for the paper). This letter and my letter of Thank you indicating your exact donation are sufficient documentation of your donation for tax purposes.
This letter and my letter of Thank you indicating your exact donation are sufficient documentation of your donation for tax purposes.
This donation will be used for the sole purpose and benefit of a US citizen. My project goal is to provide a decent study to include all my research and Extra Curricular Activities when there are shows/classes to upgrade my learning experience and skills. If you have any questions you may contact the school’s Director, Rev. Brodneax at (706) 854-0010 ext 23 or Michael Beauty School(michaelsschool@bellsouth.net). If you wish to have further information on the nature of the class requirement you may contact our Instructor, Ms. Rolland at Ext. 24… Thank you in advance for your consideration and support.

I have been helping Samantha look for ways to improve her life and make a career out of something she has truly been fascinated with her who whole life. She is a great student and a joy to have around. It would be exciting to see those girls who have tried everything to make their dreams come true only to succeed instead of hitting the road blocks so many young women do before hey are given the chance to make their dreams come true. Wish Samantha the best of luck.

I’m hoping to start school on Jan. 3 2012. My tuition is $16,200 plus my additional cost (lab cost and supply kit) brings me to an overwhelming total of $17,706. Thats a lot of money. I got my fafsa completed and between that and the school, I’ve been granted $8,005. I was also given an unsub. loan worth $2,885 and a sub. loan worth $5,490. I know that’s a lot of money right there but that’s more loan money than I want to pay back. Even if I did use the grant and the loans, I’m still short $1,326. I know that doesn’t seem like much but it is for me and my family. I don’t have a job, my dad’s on disability, and there is no one in or around my family that can afford to help me. I’m so lost and desperate. I’ve been searching the internet for different grants but I can’t find anything. Maybe I’m just not looking in the right places. Any advise?
December 7th, 2011 at 1:34 am
I am currently enrolled in cosmetology school and I just got the news today that I will not receive my full pell grant. They made me go off of my fathers income and I haven’t lived with him in over a year and a half. We only have one finical aid worker in the school and she won’t help me, she is rude and all she is telling me is “we don’t do student loans”. I’m out of options and I’ve got 2700 dollars left to pay, i have 750 hours and I won a trophy at state competition and now I might have to drop out due to lack of money. Will someone please point me in the right direction??

HI my name is Gabby I’m 24 years old. I have a beautiful daughter and I am doing my best to raise her as a single mother. currently I am attending school to obtain my AS degree in Early Childhood Education. I have a dream to be a pre school teacher, but also have a love and passion of the cosmetology world as well. I love taking care of children, but I also love doing other people’s makeup, so they can feel good about themselves. If I could have both in my life I would be delighted. As of right now I am receiving financial aid for my AS degree. I wanted to know are there any possible ways of me receiving aid for my cosmetology license to do makeup at the same time as receiving aid for my AS degree in Early childhood? Are there any options for individuals such as myself? What would be some advice if any that could be offered to me. I would appreciate any feed back.

Hello everyone. My name is Amber. I am 28 years old, married and have 9 kids between my husband and I. I really want a change in my life that will help my whole family in the long run. My dream is to become a Nail Technician. I did not know that the only college in my area that offers the course would not allow Pell grants or student loans to be used for the Nail Tech course. I was informed that I would have to pay $100.00 for enrollment, $1000.00 down payment, and $989.00 a month payment for 3 months. I don’t see how anyone could afford that kind of payment each month. So I am wondering if anyone knows how to get a scholarship or grant for the Nail Tech course? If anyone could let me know anything. I would be very grateful for your time.

I’m interest in this grant for cosmetology school. I just recently found out that I had to start my hours over due to the fact that I owe my last school money and they will not release my officail transcript. I was a cash paying student and still owe that institute, however I choose not to let that hinder my goals and dream. I am set to attend Empire Beauty School on June 18th. This Grant could really help pay my tuition. I am also a single mom trying to be a positive role model for my son to look up too. I just recently lost my job in April so I decided why wait for a job to come to me, this is a great opportunity for me to go back to what I love, HAIR! I wanted to be proactive in my future so I enrolled, now I’m trying to get some grants to help sail my ship a little more smoother. God Bless.

Hello my name is Diana. I am currently enrolled in cosmetology school. I have received sub and unsub loans and a pell grant. I have one financial advisor (who is the owner of my school) it was my understanding that the loans were to help me pay my bills while enrolled in school. I recently found out that I will not get any money if there is any left over til I reach 1250 hours. My advisor told me to get on welfare. So my search began for scholarships and grants. Any information on how and what scholarships I qualify for would be deeply appreciated. Thank you alysha and Brooklyns mom. Diana_alysha_11@yahoo.com

I am a single mom and want to have a future for myself and my children. I want to be somewhere where I feel like I belong, hair and skin care has been a life long passion for me, I use to practice on my babrbies hair when I was a little girl. I am unemployed at this time and I cant provide a good home for my children always stressing about finding a dead end job. I want to be something and prove to myself and children I can fulfill my dream and do what I want to do with my life. Please help me, I think it’s important for young children to watch their parents follow their dreams and hearts.
