Financial Aid

An Education in Cosmetology can be Affordable!

When considering furthering your education in cosmetology, we know finances can be the biggest concern. Fortunately, with the assistance of financial aid, cosmetology school can be affordable for just about anyone! Financial Aid is only available to those who qualify. However, there are many affordable ways to finance your future.

With financial aid, many of our students have their tuition completely covered through federal loans and grants. For those of you who do not qualify for financial aid or choose not to, Hays Academy of Hair Design can provide a payment plan to fit your needs. Our financial aid director is knowledgeable and here to assist you through this entire process. We are here to help you succeed and you can contact us anytime for additional help on financial aid, scholarships, and any type of financial assistance.

How do I apply for financial aid?

If you are interested in applying for financial aid, you can start your FAFSA® application process. When asked for our school code please insert 015944 (Hays Campus) or E02178 (Salina Campus). Please call us with any questions concerning the financial aid process.

Please understand it takes approximately 10-14 business days from the date you submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) for the school to receive it. If you haven’t already done so, we strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment with our admissions office during this time. Once we receive your FAFSA® we will email you eligibility information.

Scholarship Opportunities

Being able to afford college shouldn’t be hard and is an easier process with assistance programs. Scholarships can give you the most financial success and provide you with financial support when attending cosmetology school.

We are here to help and guide you through the process so you can succeed financially.

Military Spouses And Veterans Benefits

A career in beauty and wellness can be a great fit for the lifestyle of military families! Many states offer license reciprocity, which can allow you to bring your career with you, wherever you go. Military spouses, veterans, eligible dependents of deceased or disabled veterans, and active status National Guard and Reserve personnel may qualify for additional aid programs. Veterans Benefits can assist you in tuition, fees, textbooks, housing allowance, etc. For more information, give us a call and we can give you the right resources.

    After graduating high school I was looking for an amazing school where I could start my career. I toured at Hays Academy and it was the perfect fit for me. After starting they soon became family and I created amazing relationships with fellow students. Hays Academy provided a great learning environment to create a foundation in skills that I will carry with me to the salon. In the past year my life has changed for the best and it is because of my experience at Hays Academy.
