Funding questions
Does MH Beauty School offer federal financial aid (FAFSA / Title IV)?
Please ask admissions for the current status. Many smaller beauty schools do not participate in federal student aid programs — we will tell you honestly what is available.
Are there scholarships?
Ask about any institutional discounts or scholarships currently offered. Availability can change.
Can I start with a deposit and pay the rest later?
Yes — payment plans are designed for this. Details are confirmed during enrollment.
Can I complete hours while still paying?
Yes. You continue accumulating hours on our flexible schedule as long as you stay current on your payment plan.
What happens if I miss a payment?
Contact the school immediately. Staying in communication is important for continued enrollment.
Who should I talk to about money questions?
Call or visit admissions. We prefer to discuss your specific situation directly rather than give generic online answers.
