If you’re studying hairdressing in the UK, you might want to know that Beyoncé’s Cécred x BeyGOOD Fund has just opened a $25,000 grant for each of 10 cosmetology schools this year.
The money isn't just a pot of cash; it’s earmarked for tuition, styling kits, and even a few extra lessons that make the difference between a good haircut and a great one.
The fund’s first round in 2024 hit five U.S. states, but 2026 has doubled the reach—backing not only fresh classes but also mature salons eager to upskill.
To snag the grant, send a quick email to each school’s admissions office with your transcript, a short essay on why you love hair, and a photo of your favorite cut—deadlines are usually mid‑August.
Even if you don’t end up in the top 10, the program’s partnership with the National Minority Supplier Development Council means you’ll still get mentorship and a chance to connect with industry pros.
So, grab your laptop, hit the Cécred website, and make that application before the deadline—your future stylist career might just be one scholarship away.
