Can I get financial aid?

Yes — Pell Grants and Direct Student Loans are available. Here's what you need to know.
012051
Federal School Code — use this on your FAFSA

Financial aid programs available include Pell Grants and Direct Student Loans. Grant money is gift aid that doesn't have to be repaid. Loan money must be repaid when it becomes due. Applications are available in the school office.

To qualify for federal Title IV aid, a student must:

01
Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, enrolled in an eligible program of study.
02
Apply for a Pell Grant before being considered for any other Title IV aid programs.
03
Be making satisfactory progress toward the completion of their course of study.
04
Certify they do not owe a repayment on a Pell Grant, SEOG, or State Student Incentive Grant from any prior school.
05
Certify they are not in default on any Perkins, Stafford (GSL), or Plus/SLS loan.
06
Provide any documentation, verification, or corrections requested by the financial aid officer.

Note: Financial aid is not automatically renewed year-to-year — students must reapply each award year. Transfer students: aid does not automatically transfer. You'll need to submit a financial aid transcript from your prior school.

When can I start?

Pro Way continuously enrolls. There's always a next cohort — the only difference is how often each program starts.
COSMETOLOGY

Every Tuesday
new cohort begins
BARBERING

Every 2 weeks on Tuesday
new cohort begins
Pro Way Hair School begins Cosmetology classes every week on Tuesday and Barbering classes every 2 weeks on Tuesday. Because we continuously enroll throughout the year, you can start working toward your license as soon as the next cohort opens.
