Beauty school belongs in Trump’s higher education success story
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, championed by President Trump, aims to eliminate federal loans for degrees that do not provide a return on investment. However, its implementation could inadvertently harm aspiring cosmetologists by restricting access to small loans necessary for their education. This move could disproportionately affect women in the beauty industry, which is projected to grow in the coming years.
- ▪The One Big Beautiful Bill Act seeks to stop federal loans for degrees with low earning potential.
- ▪Cosmetology loans represent only 0.5% of the government student loan portfolio, with average debts significantly lower than those of traditional undergraduate students.
- ▪The Department of Education's plan could lock out 93% of cosmetology schools from federal funding, impacting many aspiring women in the field.
