Veterans’ Affairs Education Benefits

GI Bill®

If you’re a veteran or dependent wondering, “Does the GI Bill cover barber school?” the answer is yes! BBI’s programs are VA-approved, allowing you to use GI Bill® benefits for:

  • Tuition, fees, and supplies for barbering or cosmetology training
  • Monthly housing allowance and books stipend (Post-9/11 GI Bill®)

Our VA Certifying Official in Dallas-Fort Worth will help you apply and navigate benefits like the Post-9/11 or Montgomery GI Bill®. Veterans can complete their barber training while maximizing their earned benefits.

“GI Bill®” is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). For more information about education benefits offered by the VA, visit benefits.va.gov/gibill.

Veteran Readiness and Employment (CH31 VR&E) Program

If you’re a veteran with a service-connected disability, you may also qualify for the CH31 Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) program, a resource that helps you train for a new career at no cost to you.

Brighton Barber Institute is the only barber school in the DFW metroplex approved to offer the CH31 VR&E program. From eligibility to enrollment, our team will guide you through every step of the VA process.

Other Financing Options

Beyond federal aid, veterans’ benefits, and vocational rehab, additional funding options can help cover your barber school costs at BBI. Explore these possibilities:

  • Alternative Loans: Private loans from banks or credit unions can supplement other aid. These often have higher interest rates, so review terms carefully. Our financial aid team can provide information on trusted lenders offering loans for Texas barber school students.
  • Scholarships: Many organizations, including companies, professional associations, and community groups, offer scholarships for barbering or cosmetology training. Search online for opportunities, or visit your local DFW library for free internet access to research scholarships. Examples include industry-specific awards like those from Green Circle Salons.
