Financial Aid

We can help you navigate the financial aid process. Our team can help you with applying for financial aid to determine whether you qualify.

Through financial aid, many of our students have their tuition completely covered by federal loans and grants. We also provide payment plans for those who do not wish to apply for financial aid or who are not eligible.

ACCREDITATION

When you attend an accredited institution like the Avenue Five Institute, you're attending a school that has undergone a rigorous process that evaluates institutional quality. It's not easy to become or remain an accredited institution. The rules and regulations that govern accreditation are designed to protect students and ensure they are receiving the highest quality education.

Avenue Five Institute is accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences (NACCAS).

See Why Avenue 5 Stands Out

There are lots of different options when it comes to choosing a cosmetology or massage therapy training program. So, why should you choose Avenue Five Institute? We’ll give you five great reasons:

  • Our Instructors Are Experienced. All of our program instructors are seasoned industry professionals. What’s more, they regularly attend professional development to help them keep their teaching skills sharp and stay up-to-date with industry trends and techniques.
  • Our Programs Put Your Education First. Some beauty training schools will focus on using one company’s products to the point where it impacts what they teach. Not us. We use the best available products to support the skills and knowledge we want to teach you—not the other way around.
  • We Include Business Skills Development. We want you to be great at your job. We also want you to be able to attract and retain clientele to build the business of your dreams.
  • We Run a Busy Student Salon and Spa. Our student-run salon and spa location is one of Austin’s most-reviewed salons on Yelp, so you’ll never lack for live models or massage clients to work with. We also help students with photo shoots to develop portfolios.
  • We Support Your Career Search. We want you to put your best foot forward in the job market. Every student at Avenue Five Institute receives advising on job hunting, resume development, and more.
