Pell Grant

Cosmetology & Esthetician only

(Not available for nails)

The PELL grant may be filled out at the school or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov

To fill out the FAFSA you will need proof of income for the most recent tax year. Proof of income can be based on your tax return, child support, social security, welfare, or money given to you to pay bills from a family member or friend. Students must have a high school diploma or GED. The maximum Pell pays the majority of the cost of the cosmetology, or advanced esthetics. Because manicuring is less than 600 hours it cannot use federal money. Federal Pell Grants may be used for a maximum of 12 semesters or 600% for the student’s lifetime. The balance due the school after taking into account the Pell grant is paid by the student.
