MY SALON Suite announced it is offering 10 new $1,000 scholarship opportunities to help aspiring salon professionals achieve a license in cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, nail technology or massage therapy. Students can apply via an online form by August 15, 2024 to be considered for the MY SALON Suite Scholarship for Students.
All scholarships are funded through donations made by MY SALON Suite Members and Franchise Partners to the brand’s Suite Relief Fund and administered through a partnership with the Professional Beauty Association (PBA) Charities. Applicants must be currently enrolled or intending to enroll in a relevant program in the U.S. Continuing education programs or students with an existing industry profession license do not qualify.
“Throughout my time in school, I worked as much as I possibly could in order to pay for my education with the help of loans and fortunately some scholarships, one of which being the Student Scholarship from MY SALON Suite,” said Itzi Ortiz Jimenez (@glitzybyitzi), who was awarded a MY SALON Suite Scholarship for Students in 2023. “With the help of the scholarship, I was able to better focus on my education and am now a licensed Esthetician. I would like to thank MY SALON Suite for helping me get to where I am now and I am excited for what's to come in my new career!”
MY SALON Suite has awarded 62 $250 scholarships to its network of more than 8,500 Members so far this year. The brand plans to award approximately 240 Member scholarships in total throughout 2024, more than doubling the number of scholarships awarded compared to the program’s inaugural year in 2023.
Aspiring beauty, health and wellness professionals can apply for the scholarship online by August 15, 2024 in order to be considered. The 2024 scholarship recipients will be announced in October.
