Check Our Enrollment Requirements
First, check if you are eligible to enroll at our schools. Our enrollment requirements help ensure that you will be eligible for a license in your beauty field of choice from the state of Idaho after you graduate. You must be at least 16 ½ years old and have graduated from high school to start our programs. If you are in doubt about your specific situation and whether you are eligible, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask.
Schedule a Personal Tour
At some point during the process of getting to know Aveda Institutes in Twin Falls and Boise, your admissions representative will schedule a time for you to come in for a personal tour of our school. After all, if you enroll, our campuses will be where you’ll be spending much of your time, and you want to be sure you are comfortable with the surroundings and see it firsthand.
During this personal tour, you can learn more about your program of interest, meet current students, interact with our talented educators, and ask about your financial options for funding your education.
Get Started on Financial Aid
If beauty school is your path to your dream, don’t let financial concerns stand in the way. Aveda Institute – Boise and Aveda Institute – Twin Falls offer financial aid to those who qualify. Our full set of financial aid options include scholarships and aid for U.S. military veterans.
If you’d like to get a jumpstart on a customized financial aid package, you don’t even have to wait if you don’t want to. You can start by filling out your FAFSA® (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). As the name implies, filling out this financial aid application from the government is free. We encourage all of our students to fill it out to see if they qualify for any kind of federal aid—even if you believe you don’t qualify. Having all the details through the FAFSA® really helps our team quickly determine your financing and program options.
When filling out the FAFSA®, include the appropriate school code:
041767 (Aveda Idaho – Boise) or 009873 (Aveda Idaho – Twin Falls)
If you have any questions or need help with your FAFSA® application, please call your closest campus and ask for financial aid assistance.
