Invest in a Beautiful Future

Education is one of the most valuable investments you can make. At Capri College, we are committed to helping you every step of the way, and if you need financial assistance, we are here to help you find the resources that could help make your beauty school education more affordable. Financial aid is available for those who qualify.

Up to two academic years of Federal Financial Aid is available to those who qualify in the form of grants (no repayment required) and loans for Cosmetology, Esthetics, and Massage Therapy students. Financial Aid is not available for our Nail Technology program.

If you need any assistance with the Financial Aid process, you can call our experienced Financial Aid Advisors at 1-800-728-7222.

Financial Aid Resources

When filling out the FAFSA®, you will need to enter the code for the school you plan on attending. Capri College’s school codes are:

  • Cedar Rapids, IA #014390
  • Davenport, IA #007717
  • Dubuque, IA #007588
  • Waterloo, IA #E40507

Find Out What You Qualify For

Once your FAFSA® has been processed, we will be notified of the types of federal aid that you qualify for.
Some of the grants and loans that you could qualify for include:

  • Federal Pell Grant: The Pell Grant is based on financial need and does not have to be repaid, except under certain circumstances.
  • Federal Subsidized Loan: The Federal Subsidized Loan is based on financial need. Interest does not begin accruing until you cease full-time enrollment at school. You begin paying this loan back six months after you cease enrollment.
  • Federal Unsubsidized Loan: The Federal Unsubsidized Loan could help if you need to borrow money for additional education costs. You must meet all eligibility criteria of the Federal Subsidized Direct loan program, except you do not have to demonstrate financial need or undergraduate status. In this type of loan, interest payments begin immediately after the loan is fully disbursed or may be added to the principal balance. Regular payments begin six months after you cease enrollment.
  • Federal Parent PLUS Loan: The Federal Parent Plus Loan helps the parents of undergraduate students pay for their child’s educational expenses. The parent needs to be credit-worthy, but even if your parent has no credit or a poor credit history, you could still qualify by applying with a credit-worthy endorser. You begin repaying the loan immediately after it is fully disbursed.

I graduated from Capri almost 2 years from the cosmetology program and Capri definitely set me up for success with all the knowledge my instructors had and passed down to me! If you are interested in going to cosmetology school I highly recommend Capri College in Waterloo

I attended Capri last year and graduated through the cosmetology program and my college experience was great! All the instructors there are very kind and helpful while still letting you have full range of your creativity! S.O to my instructor Surp for pushing me to finish my hours!

Choosing Capri College was one of the best decisions I've ever made. From day one, I felt supported and encouraged to grow-not just as a stylist, but as a person. The instructors pushed me to believe in myself, refine my skills, and step outside of my comfort zone. I graduated feeling confident, prepared, and excited to start my career. Capri will always hold a special place in my heart.

Capri College has given me confidence in my ability that I will own forever. My favorite part of the program was the hands-on learning. The fast-paced nature of the program was challenging, but it has prepared me for my career as a Massage Therapist.

Frequently Asked Questions About Financial Aid

Who is eligible to apply for financial aid?

Most U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens with a high school diploma or GED can apply for federal financial aid. Eligibility is based on factors such as financial need, enrollment status, and whether or not you meet the general eligibility requirements outlined by the U.S. Department of Education.

What can financial aid cover?

Financial aid can cover the costs of tuition, school fees, school supplies, and books. Depending on what you qualify for, it could cover the full cost of your beauty school education or a portion of the cost, as well as some living expenses. Different factors, such as financial need and the number of hours you spend in school, help determine the amount of financial aid you receive.

Can I meet with someone to talk about financial aid?

Absolutely! You can contact us via the contact form or call us at 1-800-728-7222. We are happy to schedule an appointment to talk through your financial aid questions. The required campus tour is another time when you could get some of your financial aid questions answered.
