Students who demonstrate financial need and live in the Chicago area who are currently enrolled or have an acceptance letter to Trenz Beauty Academy on the South Side or in Calumet City can apply for scholarships. 

BeyGOOD is also offering $10,000 grants to 25 salon and business owners in Los Angeles, New Jersey, Atlanta, Houston and Chicago. To qualify, they must operate within Chicago, demonstrate financial need, have been a licensed barber, hairstylist or cosmetologist for two years, have a lease agreement for a space and have been in business for at least one year.
