Scholarships are a Stylists' Best Friend...
When we aren’t busy stalking Celeb stylists, you can find The Hair Nerds seeking out advanced education. Because when you get right down to it, we love to learn… We are NERDS, remember?!
The only snag we ever seem to run into is our lack of limitless funds. If only we could get that crappy money tree to grow in the backyard! Unfortunately, education doesn’t come for free, but lucky for you we have a sweet scholarship opportunity to share.
The PBA | NCA Sally Beauty Excel Scholarships are funded by Sally Beauty Supply and administered by PBA | NCA. Applications are reviewed by a committee appointed by the President of the NCA section
Applications for the 2013 PBA | NCA Sally Beauty Excel Scholarships are now available in the two categories below. The deadline for entry is November 15, 2012 (Don't say they didn't give you enough time!), and the scholarships will be awarded at the 2013 ISSE Long Beach show.
Seven – $1000 scholarships will be awarded to high school graduates with the desire to enter the cosmetology profession. Application
How much do you love this?! Rewarding Future Hair Nerds…
Six - $500 scholarships will also be awarded to current PBA | NCA members for continuing education in the cosmetology field, such as at an accredited advanced academy (Vidal Sassoon, anyone?) or for attending education / training at industry tradeshows. Application
The winners are announced at ISSE Long Beach each year, and since you will be there already... you may as well win some scholarship money, right?
