Opportunities for cosmetology scholarships for international students?

I'm an international student interested in studying cosmetology and looking for scholarship opportunities in this field. Are there any specific scholarships for international students pursuing cosmetology, and what is the application process like?

Sure, there are several scholarships available for international students pursuing a career in cosmetology.

First off, you may want to consider the Alice Madden Barton Scholarship program. Twice a year, they award scholarships to individuals pursuing a career in cosmetology or barbering. These scholarships can be used at any cosmetology or barbering school.

Another option would be the Beauty Changes Lives Scholarships. They often offer various scholarships for different beauty and wellness programs, such as cosmetology, barbering, massage therapy, and more.

The Joe Francis Haircare Scholarship Foundation is also worth considering. Named in honor of the founder of several hair care franchises, this scholarship awards amounts to aspiring cosmetology and barber school students.

Finally, the National Coalition of Estheticians Association provides multiple scholarships for those interested in advancing in the beauty industry.

While the exact application process may vary from one scholarship to another, typically, you would need to complete an application form and provide supporting documents. This can often include high school transcripts, a personal statement or essay discussing your interest in cosmetology, and occasionally, a portfolio of your current work.

Remember, the key to winning scholarships is to apply to as many as you can. You always improve your chances of winning by casting a wide net. Good luck with your applications!
