funding opportunities

At The Stylist Startup Fund Inc, we believe financial barriers should never prevent aspiring cosmetologists from building successful careers in the beauty industry. Our scholarships support high school students pursuing cosmetology education, while our grants provide financial assistance to newly licensed stylists transitioning into salon life.

These funds help cover essential costs such as tuition, booth rent, and startup expenses, while also providing access to business education and mentorship. Through this comprehensive support, we equip emerging beauty professionals with the tools, confidence, and resources needed to launch sustainable, income generating careers and make a lasting impact in their communities.
