Ways to Pay for Beauty School

Financial aid can come in many forms. Here are the major sources of funding that many of our students rely on to help them reach their educational goals.

Scholarships

Scholarships are a first choice when it comes to funding your education, because this is money that you don’t have to pay back.

Nathan Layne Institute of Cosmetology accepts an array of scholarships that you may win. Numerous organizations offer scholarship assistance to cosmetology and other beauty or trade school students; browse active scholarships on bold.org or Beauty Schools Directory.

We also offer our own scholarship, a Careers That Work Scholarship to up-and-coming high school graduates. Be sure to ask our Financial Aid representatives about scholarship deadlines.

Grants

Similar to scholarships, grants provide funding for education that doesn’t need to be paid back. Typically, grants are awarded based on financial need. Talk to the Nathan Layne Institute’s financial aid specialists to understand what grant options you may be eligible for.

Student Loans

Loans are money that you borrow, and these are either private loans or federal government loans. Federal loan aid has the advantage of offering favorable interest rates and repayment plans. To qualify, you’ll need to apply and be deemed eligible for a loan.

Assistance for Veterans

Our military service members work diligently to defend our country, which is why Nathan Layne Institute of Cosmetology proudly offers grants, loans, and scholarships to veterans of all ages. This is an especially fantastic opportunity for service members finishing their current contract with the military. This assistance also applies to military spouses.

We have the experience and knowledge to help you utilize the GI Bill® when applying to cosmetology school. GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by the VA is available at the official U.S. government website at benefits.va.gov/gibill.

Applying for Financial Aid: What to Expect

Regardless of the program you’re interested in, the first step to determining the amount of financial aid you are eligible for is to connect with a member of our Admissions team, where our expert staff can offer financial aid advice geared toward your particular situation.

Soon after you begin the conversation with our Admissions team, you will apply for financial aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). This is a necessary step to determining how much assistance you are eligible to receive. Once completed, you can reach out to one of the Financial Aid administrators here at Nathan Layne Institute and work with them to see what kind of package you qualify for, as well as the length of time you’ll be able to apply it to your education here.

When filling out the FAFSA®, use our institute’s school code for our Chubbuck / Pocatello campus: 016432.

Once you’ve completed your application and all of your required forms are submitted, we wait to receive your Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) from the state. As soon as that comes through, we’ll inform you that you can proceed with the enrollment process.
