For many, paying for education can be a stressful process. Affordability is a top concern among applicants. Thankfully, Rosel School is accredited by the U.S Department of Education to give FAFSA financial aid and scholarships to students who qualifies. A large amount of our incoming cosmetology students receive financial aid, significantly lowering the cost of tuition. We offer assistance to students applying for the FAFSA. Please contact us for more details about this program and how we can help you.
