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
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.

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.
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.
