How Much Does the Program Cost — and Can I Get Financial Aid?
If you’re considering a future in the beauty and wellness industry, one of the first questions you’re likely asking is: How much does it cost—and how can I pay for it?
At Brown Aveda Institute, we believe your education should feel both accessible and achievable, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Understanding Program Costs
Tuition varies depending on the program you choose, whether it’s cosmetology, esthetics, or manicuring. Because each path includes different training hours, tools, and materials, the total investment will be reviewed with you during your personalized admissions meeting. This ensures you receive clear, accurate information tailored to your goals—no guesswork, just transparency.
Financial Aid Is Available
The good news? Yes—financial aid is available for those who qualify. Brown Aveda Institute operates much like a traditional college, meaning eligible students can apply for federal financial aid, including:
Pell Grants (which typically do not need to be repaid)
Federal student loans
To get started, you’ll complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at Federal Student Aid via studentaid.gov. This application determines what types of aid you may be eligible to receive.
Personalized Guidance Every Step of the Way
During your admissions meeting, our team will walk you through:
