Sola Spark Student Scholarship -All Disciplines Summer 2026
The Sola Spark Student Scholarship opportunity reflects Sola’s long-standing commitment to empowering beauty professionals to become independent entrepreneurs. Since its founding in 2004, Sola has reimagined salon ownership by offering high-end, move-in-ready private studios and the support professionals need to launch their own businesses — giving you control over your schedule, pricing, and creative vision, rather than being tied to traditional salon constraints. By investing in these grants and scholarships, Sola is extending that mission: removing barriers, championing independence, and helping the next generation of beauty pros turn their passion into a thriving, self-owned business built on their own terms
