Federal Student Aid Options Available to You
In addition to internal payment plan options and Federal Financial Aid, students may also be eligible for a variety of scholarship opportunities. Many organizations and corporations offer scholarships directly to students, so it is recommended that you connect with employers, community groups, and professional organizations in your network to ask about available funding opportunities.
Scholarships may be available to both future and current students. You should apply for all scholarships as they become available to you to maximize your chances of receiving financial support.
Below is a list of reputable scholarship programs affiliated with the cosmetology industry. AIP does not endorse and is not affiliated with any of these foundations.
