Are there scholarship opportunities available?
ACE SCHOLARSHIP. This program is intended to encourage interested parties to consider a career in cosmetology. The American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS) partners with industry sponsors to offer scholarships and grants to deserving cosmetology students. The scholarships can be as high as $2,400, but the student must have completed the application process prior to enrolling in school.
Additional scholarships can be found on the AACS website:

If interested, the student should check the website regularly because each has different submission date requirements, amounts and qualifications.
SCACS (South Carolina Association of Cosmetology Schools) offers limited scholarships after a student has completed more than 750 hours. The college’s financial aid office can provide specifics on this.
