Financial Aid Process for Students at Rudae’s School of Beauty Culture

The U.S. Department of Education, in partnership with schools of postsecondary education in the United States, provides funds to those who qualify. Find out if you qualify by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). After you have completed the FAFSA®, submitted it, and received your results, you may find out that you have qualified for one of these types of financial aid:

The Pell Grant is financial aid that does not have to be repaid, except under certain circumstances. Qualification for the Pell Grant is based on the financial status of the student’s family.
Federal subsidized loans are available to undergraduate students with financial need. The federal government will pay the interest on the loan while you are in school. Once you stop attending school full-time, the interest for the loan will start to accrue. Regular payments begin six months after you are finished with school.
Federal unsubsidized loans are available for students to borrow for additional education costs. Interest payments begin immediately after the loan is fully disbursed or may be added to the principal balance. Begin making regular payments six months after you are finished with school.
Federal Parent PLUS Loans for undergraduate students provide additional funds for parents to help pay for students’ school expenses. They can be combined with other financial aid resources and cannot exceed the student’s cost of education. Repayment of a Federal Parent PLUS loan begins immediately after the loan is fully disbursed.

If you are looking for other financial aid options besides what is offered through the FAFSA®, you may want to pursue a private loan from a bank or other financial institution.

Scholarships

Scholarships are another excellent way to save money on beauty school tuition. Scholarship awards do not have to be repaid. Rudae’s School of Beauty Culture works with area high school guidance counselors to provide scholarships for cosmetology to qualified high school students. We also provide several other scholarships to assist students with the cost of attendance. Contact us to ask about scholarships that you could apply for!

It may be worth your time to seek out beauty school scholarships from private organizations. You won’t know if you qualify for a scholarship unless you apply for it!

Here are a few examples of beauty school scholarships that you could apply for:

See What Our Students Have To Say

I went to Rudae's in 2020, & had a great experience despite the craziness of the world. The instructors I had helped me learn as much as I could while in school, & pushed me to be my best. I am now a level 4 stylist, & an educator in my salon. I have a very loyal clientele, who I adore & doing hair has brought me so many opportunities! I love my job! My advice to future students is to never get comfortable. Always keep learning, always want to know more. Our industry is ever changing & continuing your education is the best way to give your guests the experience they deserve. Stay up with the trends, learn the new techniques... invest in yourself. It pays off in the end!

I started my beauty career working at Sephora for a few years when I decided to enroll into Rudae's cosmetology program in 2018! From the start, all of the teachers and staff were so supportive and I loved how involved they were. I met some of my very best friends at Rudae's and I loved my entire experience there. From the education, to the on-hand portion, Rudae's curriculum was the perfect mix of work and play. With my cosmetology license, I now manage full service medical spa here in Fort Wayne where I manage and oversee all of the esthetics and cosmetology services. Rudae's gave me a well rounded background of management, training and all services knowledge to utilize in my beauty management career currently. Advice for future students: you get out what you put in. Use this time to experiment and play and fully invest yourself now. This industry isn't faltering in any way and there's plenty of business to до around! Do it well, do it kindly.

Rudaes school of beauty culture is not your typical classroom experience. It is in this building that my closest friendships were built and my foundational skills were perfected. I’ve made many mistakes and learned brand new lessons but I also earned an immeasurable about of joy and laughter. This is the kind of program that takes a lot before it gives but it’s 10/10 worth it
