I'm considering attending barber college after high school. Does anyone know if a scholarship I got through my high school can be applied to a program like that? Or does it only work for traditional colleges?
Generally speaking, where your scholarship can be applied often depends on the specific terms and conditions of the scholarship itself. Some scholarships will be strictly limited to use at traditional 2-year or 4-year colleges or universities, while others can be applied toward a wider array of educational paths such as vocational and technical programs, including barber college.
The best course of action would be to reach out to the organization that granted you the scholarship or review the scholarship terms, as they would have the most accurate and detailed information on what educational expenses the scholarship is intended to cover.
Even if your current scholarship doesn't cover tuition at a barber college, don't be discouraged. There are many scholarships specifically for students pursuing vocational and technical education. A good way to find these scholarships would be to look on platforms like Appily or even directly through the barber school you're considering.
