BarberCosmo Academy is approved for federal financial aid. Federal Pell Grants and our own grant programs can cover tuition for students who qualify. Grants aren't loans, so you don't pay them back. Some students also choose a living-expense stipend. Stipends are optional, and they do have to be paid back. Stipends can help with bills while you train. Not sure what you qualify for? Call or text (510) 302-9830. It takes five minutes.
The cost of many barbering and cosmetology colleges is very high, causing students to get into heavy student loan debt or high out of pocket payments. The cost of our courses is meant to help students start a career without outrageous monthly payments.
