Scholarships & Funding Options
No FAFSA? You Still Have Real Options. We don’t work with federal student loans, but that doesn’t mean tuition help isn’t out there.
Here’s what’s actually available, and what’s realistic to count on.
Not every option here is guaranteed, and we’d rather tell you that upfront than have you count on something that doesn’t come through. Some of these depend on funding availability, your specific situation, or a limited number of yearly awards. Your most reliable path is still our own flexible payment plans, everything below is a bonus on top of that, not a replacement for it.
ARIZONA@WORK (WIOA Funding)
A federal and state workforce grant that sometimes covers cosmetology training. In practice, this rarely comes through for students who don’t qualify for FAFSA, so we won’t promise it as a reliable funding source. Worth checking your eligibility, but build your plan assuming it might not happen.
Arizona ESA Program
If you hold an active Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account, those funds can go toward approved tuition and program supplies through ClassWallet.
Internal Tuition Assistance
Direct awards from us, when available, aimed at lowering your out-of-pocket cost so you’re not taking on more debt than necessary to get licensed.
Mexican Consulate Scholarship (IME Becas)
One full-tuition scholarship awarded per year to an outstanding candidate of Mexican heritage or nationality, through our partnership with the consulate.
