"I tell you that a clever, thoughtful, ambitious hairdresser wields a power beyond the comprehension of most people." - John Steinbeck, author

A career as a salon professional means:

• A good income
• A secure future
• Flexible hours

Sally Beauty has partnered with the National Cosmetology Association to provide $1000 scholarships to 10 deserving applicants ready to start a new career.

Scholarships will be awarded in the following categories:

• Five scholarships to high school graduates, under the age of 26, desiring to enter the cosmetology profession.
• Three scholarships to current NCA members for continuing education in the field of cosmetology.
• Two scholarships to the children or grandchildren of current NCA members for their use in pursuing advanced education at the college level.

Application deadline is January 15, 2009. Ten scholarship recipients will be chosen and notified by mail. All scholarships are funded by Sally Beauty Supply and administered by the National Cosmetology Association. Applications will be reviewed by a committee appointed by the President of the National Cosmetology Association. All scholarship awards are final. Awards are given at the Chicago Beauty Show.

With our contribution to the Cosmetology Advancement Foundation, ten $1,000 scholarships are administered (solely by the CAF) to beauty students each year.

Sally has also donated $10,000 to the National Beauty Culturist League, funded by a percentage of the sales of ethnic merchandise during Black History month. As one of the oldest beauty associations, the NBCL is the world's largest network of African-American cosmetologists.

Finally, the Sally Cup plus a $10,000 award go to the individual student competitor with the highest cumulative score in the Fashion and Technical Contests at the USA Beauty Open. The winner goes on to represent the USA at the international competitions at HairWorld.
