MY SALON Suite has announced it’s bumping its annual scholarship funding from $30K to $70K, which will benefit cosmetology students and MY SALON Suite "solopreneurs" seeking continuing education.
“We’ve always been focused on giving back to our members and students,” says MY SALON Suite executive Stacy Eley, “and we are thrilled to double that impact in 2024 to help support education and entrepreneurship throughout the beauty and wellness industry.”
The MY SALON Suite Scholarship for Students will offer ten $1,000 scholarships to students pursuing careers in cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, nail technology, or massage therapy. The deadline to apply is August 15, 2024 and winners will be announced in October. Those interested can apply here.
In addition, 250 MY SALON Suite members will be awarded $250 scholarships per quarter for industry-related continuing education. The next deadline for current members to apply is March 15, 2024. More than 60 recipients will be announced per quarter; those applications are available here.
All scholarships are funded through donations made by MY SALON Suite members and franchise partners, and administered by the Professional Beauty Association Charities.
The third-largest salon suite franchise in North America, MY SALON Suite marked the opening of its 300th location at the end of 2023 and now hosts more than 330 locations serving more than 8,500 beauty independents.
The company recently launched a mobile app for its members and franchise partners, giving them advanced tools to manage their business, update their website, and access training resources for continuing education.
