Financial aid is available to those who qualify.

Federal Title IV funds are available for students attending Mr. John's as a result of its national accreditation by NACCAS (National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences).

Cosmetology students may qualify for the following:
  • PELL Grant (Based on family income, family size and other factors, students may qualify for free money to attend Mr. John's.)
  • SEOG (Those students who qualify for full PELL Grants may receive additional free money through the SEOG program.)
  • Subsidized Direct Loans (Students may borrow up to $3,500 in their freshman year with no payments or interest due until six months after the last day of attendance.)
  • Unsubsidized Direct Loans (Students may borrow up to $6,000 in their freshmen year. Interest is charged starting on the day your loan is fully disbursed. Payments begin six months after the last day of attendance. )
  • PLUS Loans (Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students — Dependent students' parents may borrow funds to help pay for tuition. Interest starts 60 days after full amount borrowed has been disbursed.)
Because of the length of the esthetics program, the loan and PELL Grant amounts listed above are prorated to 83% of the cosmetology rates listed above.

The nail technology program is not funded through PELL Grants. Payment programs are available for students.

All federal student loan programs carry a low interest rate that is adjusted every July 1. Students with multiple loans are encouraged to consolidate the loans after the 6 month grace period into one singular loan which creates only one payment.
