Scholarships that open Doors

The Borner's Foundation Scholarship is more than tuition assistance. It's a full pathway from enrollment to licensure — covering the costs that most often stop students from finishing what they started.

What our scholarships cover:

• Tuition at accredited barbering and cosmetology programs

• Professional kits, tools, and supplies

• Textbooks and study materials

• State board licensing exam fees

• Wraparound support including mentorship and career placement

Who we support: Students with the talent and drive to succeed in the industry — but without the financial resources to get there on their own. We prioritize applicants facing real economic barriers, including first-generation students, single parents, returning citizens, and youth from underserved communities.

The impact: Every scholarship recipient leaves our program as a licensed professional with the skills, tools, and network to build a sustainable career — and the means to lift up the community around them.

Fund a Future Professional Your gift goes directly toward a student's education. Whether you cover a kit, a semester, or a full scholarship, you're investing in someone's career — and in everyone they'll go on to serve.
