Enrolling in a Beauty School When on a Budget

(Newswire.net — August 16, 2016) Los Angeles County, CA —If the dream of going to Beauty School seems unattainable due to financial concerns, there are options. Being on a budget when deciding which school to go to should not be the first concern. The first concern should be the quality of the school. Choose a quality school then choose financial options.

Cost of Beauty School

The cost of attending Beauty School is not as high as a four-year college, but it does still require substantial tuition. When deciding to take cosmetology as a profession there is some questions to ask. Ask yourself how the costs will be paid, and if this is the right future to pursue. Dreams keep a person going and everyone has earned the right to better their future. To keep going with a dream of attending Beauty School it is important to find the financial assistance needed to make that dream possible.

Budgeting for Beauty School

Having a budget in place and strictly following it will make a cosmetology education possible. The staff at almost every school or college can work with students to set up manageable payments while they get an education. Setting up a monthly bill system to calculate how much income is being earned and how much is needed to cover bills is the start. A person needs to determine how much, if any, they have for extras and keep spending within that limit. There should be some funds that pay towards student loans and possibly some that go into personal savings. There are other financial options available.

Financial Aid

Financial Aid is a type of aid that is given to qualified students which they are not required to pay back. This is a great option for attending beauty school without going into debt. To apply for financial aid a student needs to fill out a FAFSA form. Most schools and colleges have specialists on staff that can assist with filling this form out.

Scholarships

There are many scholarships available for and with a little research the right ones can be found. Students should apply for as many as they find and not just one or two. The Professional Beauty Association has a list of scholarships to look into.

Grants for Beauty School

Choose a school that is accredited with the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology. Schools which are accredited are recognized by the Federal Government which means students have a greater chance of qualifying for grants. There are several to apply for:

• Federal Pell Grant is awarded on financial need. This grant pays for education and any amount left over after tuition fees are covered can be used by student for living expenses
• Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant is much like the Pell but aimed more towards an undergraduate with ‘exceptional’ financial needs.
• Federal Work Study helps students earn funding through part-time work. Part-time work is usually found for them to work 10-15 hours a week at their school.
• ACE Grant is offered by many schools and colleges to help students begin an education.
