How to Pay for Beauty School
Federal Pell Grants
This is government money you don’t have to pay back. If you qualify based on financial need, you could receive up to several thousand dollars per year. To apply, fill out the FAFSA (see below).
Tricoci University Scholarships
We offer scholarships based on financial need, merit, and even random drawings. Some are awarded through competitions. These range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Contact us to learn what’s currently available.
Outside Scholarships
Don’t forget to check for grants from your state, county, or city. These vary by location but can provide additional funding that doesn’t need to be repaid.
Federal Student Loans
These government-backed loans typically have lower interest rates than private loans and offer flexible repayment options. If you’re struggling later, you can often adjust your payment plan. Apply through the FAFSA.
Monthly Payment Plans
Want to avoid loans entirely? We offer payment plans where you pay in monthly installments with zero interest. This works great if you can work part-time while in school. Monthly payments are higher than loan payments but you’ll save money overall.
Private Student Loans
These should be your last option since they typically have higher interest rates and stricter terms. Only consider these if you’ve exhausted all other options. Shop around for the best rates if you go this route.
What Students Say About Tricoci University
I had an amazing experience during my time as a student at Tricoci. The staff is caring, supportive, knowledgeable, and very helpful. I know they all genuinely care about what happens to us when we graduate. I loved all the events I was able to participate in, the competitions, and classes. So many opportunities to grow at Tricoci, with amazing mentors I know will always be here to support me and anyone else who wants to grow.

This school has definitely changed my life and long time goals. They gave me purpose and a calling I’ve never knew I had. The time I have spent here has been great in so many ways! People come and go but experiences can never be replaced. Cosmetology is for sure not for the weak, you need dedication and patience to devour your fears of messing up or even giving a service that the client might not potentially like. I thank all the students and teachers for their support
