As a long time producer of high quality ergonomically designed scissors, it was refreshing and exciting to talk with Lara Kelley of Minnesota School of Beauty. So often I talk to school owners who are simply looking for the cheapest scissors they can get for their school. Instead Lara specifically wanted tools to give her students the best chance of achieving a successful career and to do it in a healthy and sustainable way. If we had more school owners who thought like that this industry would be a much better place. Thank you for caring Lara.

My time at Minnesota School of Beauty was filled with all emotions. I went through good and hard times here, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The people here are truly so great, they pushed me to do my best and picked me up when I needed it most. They really do care about their students here and want nothing but the best for you. When I didn’t understand something, they were right there to help me and explain it. I feel the experiences I had here were ones I wouldn’t be able to get at other schools. I am very pleased and grateful for my experience at Minnesota School of Beauty. They really do help you to become the very best you can be!

MSB gave more to me than just knowing how to do my job. They helped me learn more about myself. They taught me how to handle people, how to have more confidence, how to believe in myself and how to ask for help. Half way through the year things for me were not looking good and I was ready to give up, but Lara, Diane and the instructors wouldn’t take no, as an answer and they pushed me in the right direction and gave me what I needed to keep on pushing myself. We took field trips to salons, that’s how I found where I wanted to work. I have met a lot of past students of MSB and everyone had good things to say about the school. I am proud to be a graduate student at the Minnesota School of Beauty!

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Filling out the correct FAFSA Aid Year
The financial aid year runs on a fiscal cycle that starts in July.
If you plan to start school in May, you will need to complete two FAFSA applications:
• The current aid year (to cover May and June), and
• The next aid year (to cover July through the rest of your program).
This means there will be two aid years submitted so your financial aid can continue without interruption.
How to Get Financial Assistance at the Minnesota School of Beauty
1. You will need to go online to: www.fafsa.gov
2. To be able to sign your FAFSA online, you will need to create a Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID and password. If your parent(s') financial information appears on your FAFSA, you will also need a Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID and password for your parent(s). You can create an FSA ID at www.FSAID.ed.gov
3. When entering your data online, you will be asked for a school code. Because our school does not have a federal school code, the Minnesota State Grant Office has told us to advise our students to use the University of MN code, 003969.
4. Set up an appointment with the Financial Assistance officer. If your information includes parent information, it is best if your parent(s) attend your meeting with Financial Assistance.
5. When you meet with Financial Assistance you will need to bring:
✓ Copies of the tax returns used to fill out your FAFSA(s)
✓ Printouts of the information that you submitted on your FAFSA(s) or copies of your FAFSA
Submission Summary
✓ Your FSA ID and password and parent FSA ID and password if applicable.
6. At your Financial Assistance appointment, the Financial Assistance officer will go over the FAFSA with you. At this time, you will fill in any missing information and your FAFSA will be double checked for accuracy. The officer will then prepare an estimate of available Minnesota State Grant funds and explain the SELF Loan program.
7. A few days after you complete your FAFSA, a FAFSA Submission Summary will be available for you on the FAFSA website. Please print your Submission Summary and bring it with you to the school. The Financial Assistance office will need to have that Submission Summary to award any MN State Grant disbursements and to certify the SELF loan.
8. Come see the Financial Assistance officer on the first scheduled Financial Assistance Day after you start school to make sure everything is in place and fill out any additional paperwork.
