Work-Study Program
Our work-study program offers students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience while earning tuition credits. By working part-time in our on-site salon or assisting with administrative operations, students not only reduce their tuition but also build practical skills essential for career success. This program provides a meaningful way to make education more affordable while preparing for the professional world.
