Scholarships

Scholarship funds are among the best type of financial aid available to students. Scholarships are award money for winning applicants that do not need to be repaid. In some cases, scholarships may be renewable.

Not everyone knows that scholarships aren’t just for traditional college degrees. Many scholarships are offered for students at career programs such as beauty school. Read on for more info on what scholarships are, as well as resources to help you find and win them.

Types of Scholarships

There are many different types of scholarships out there available specifically for beauty school students, and other scholarships that are for the broader population of students attending career colleges or vocational training.

At Avalon Institute, we proudly accept scholarships from other organizations and sources. Some of the different types of scholarships we accept include:

  • High School Scholarships: These are offered to eligible high school students who wish to enroll in a licensing program before they get their high school diploma
  • Need-Based Scholarships: These are offered to students who demonstrate financial need.
  • Non-Essay Scholarships: These types are typically the easiest to fill out because they don’t require an essay.
  • Private Scholarships: These are funded through companies, foundations, or service groups.

These are just a few different types of scholarships available to you. If you want to start applying for scholarships but aren’t sure where to look, one of the best resources for scholarships for beauty students is the American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS). They partner with industry sponsors to provide deserving beauty students with grants and scholarships available to students who have been accepted to their beauty school or are currently enrolled.

We have always taken special care to make our education accessible to all who are interested in building a career in beauty. As well as accepting outside scholarships, we also offer internal scholarships. For more information on scholarships offered by us, contact us and someone from our admissions team will answer any questions you may have.
