Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) to see what you may qualify for. Our school code is: 017096. We’ll help you compare options that may include federal grants, federal Direct Loans, and an in-house payment plan. Borrow only what you need, and choose a plan that fits your goals and timeline.
Pell Grants are need-based aid that don’t require repayment. Eligibility depends on your FAFSA® information and enrollment status.
These are loans that must be repaid with interest. Subsidized loans are need-based, and the government may pay the interest while you’re in school at least half-time. Unsubsidized loans are not need-based, and interest begins accruing as soon as you get them.
The Veterans Administration provides benefits for eligible Veterans. Veterans and dependents of veterans must establish their eligibility by contacting the VA.
Eligibility requirements are determined by Louisiana Office of Student Financial Aid. Please visit https://mylosfa.la.gov/ to find out more about TOPS.

The FAFSA® is the federal application that determines your eligibility for grants and loans. It produces a Student Aid Report that schools use to assemble your financial aid package.
Submit the FAFSA® as soon as it opens for your academic year and update it annually while enrolled. After your FAFSA® is processed, we’ll review the next steps.
In many cases, yes. Depending on eligibility, students may layer federal aid with state programs (such as TOPS). We’ll help you review your options and help you determine the best financial package options.
Yes. We can discuss a monthly payment plan that divides the remaining tuition that financial aid doesn’t cover. Plans vary, but we’ll explain current terms to help keep costs manageable.
🎓Brianne & Alana | A Friendship That Became Part of the Story
They came to CTC to learn a trade, but they’re leaving with a friendship they didn’t know they’d find.🥹💖
Some of the best things that happen in life aren`t part of the plan. Sometimes, they`re the friendships that grow in the middle of an ordinary day, the person who makes the hard days a little easier, or the one who ends up standing right beside you when something wonderful happens.
For Brianne and Alana, CTC became the place where two individual journeys turned into a shared chapter, full of learning, memories, and a friendship that grew along the way. And how special is it that they got to celebrate this milestone together?
As they turn the page to what`s next, we hope they carry more than the skills they`ve learned here. We hope they carry the confidence to keep growing, the courage to chase the opportunities ahead, and the reminder that sometimes the people you meet along the way become just as meaningful as the destination itself.
Brianne & Alana, Congratulations!
-We`re so happy you found a little something extra here at CTC!
“Two graduates, one beautiful friendship, and a whole lot of possibilities ahead.”🥂✨

💄A little makeup, a little teamwork, and a whole lot of GLOW!
Our esthetics students teamed up for a daily makeup application, putting their skills into practice while creating a look that’s wearable, beautiful, and oh-so-glowy! Because learning the art of beauty means getting hands-on, trying new techniques, and building confidence one brush stroke at a time.
The goal? Enhancing natural beauty, one face at a time💋

POV: Your Instructor Is Watching👀
-You drop your comb and instinctively reach down to grab it…
YOUR INSTRUCTOR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT🚨😂
-“ABSOLUTELY NOT. That comb belongs to the floor now!”
In cosmetology school, we don`t just teach you how to do hair…we teach you the rules of the beauty industry💆🏼♀️✨

✨Around here, a “regular” updo just won’t cut it!
Our Level 2 cosmetology students took on a themed updo challenge, and these girlies came READY to accessorize! From spooky season and Christmas cheer to Thanksgiving vibes and Strawberry Festival flair, they turned hairstyling into a whole creative production. 💇♀️✨
Because at CTC, a head of hair is never JUST hair… it’s a blank canvas, and our students aren’t afraid to think outside the box!
We need to know…which theme would YOU want to try?!

🎓A little rebel, a whole lotta heart, and now…A COSMETOLOGY GRADUATE!
Well, Zoe… look at you. 🥹🖤
Some people leave a little sparkle wherever they go. Others leave a little chaos, a whole lot of attitude, and absolutely ZERO apologies for being exactly who they are. And then there’s Zoe, who somehow manages to be all of that while having one of the biggest hearts around.
Zoe has always been unapologetically HERSELF, and honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way. From that hard-core vibe to that signature sass, she brings a personality that you simply can’t duplicate. But underneath all that edge is a girl with so much heart, and anyone who has gotten to know her knows just how special she really is.
Getting to celebrate her graduation is bittersweet because while we’re SO excited to see her take on the beauty industry, we know there’s a little less Zoe-shaped chaos coming through our doors now. 😂🥹
Zoe, we hope you never feel the need to tone yourself down, fit into anyone else’s mold, or trade your individuality for someone else’s idea of who you should be. This industry has room for bold, different, creative souls like you, and we hope you use every bit of that personality to make your own mark on it.
Keep your edge. Keep your sass. Keep that big heart. And please, for everyone`s sake, never lose the ability to make people laugh!
Congratulations, Zoe! We love you, we’re proud of you, and we cannot WAIT to see what you do next. Go make some magic, do things your own way, and remind the world that being different is a pretty beautiful thing.
CTC will always be cheering for you, you little legend.🖤🤘🏼

✨Congratulations Rylie!
-There’s something really special about watching someone reach a moment they once had to imagine. 🥹
Today, we get to celebrate Rylie—not just because she completed her hours or reached the finish line, but because she can now look back and see just how much has changed along the way.
The early mornings, the long days, the learning curves, the little victories, the moments of doubt, the friendships, the laughter, and all the time spent behind the chair have brought her to *this* day. And now, she gets to take everything she’s learned and make it her own.
Rylie, we hope you leave CTC knowing that your time here was about more than learning a skill. You were building confidence, finding your voice, and becoming the beauty professional you’re meant to be.
We’re so proud of you, Rylie! Go make some magic! Your next chapter starts now🪄

👀CTC POV: Our client needs a Spanish speaker!
Daisy & Alexa: SAY LESS.
When CTC calls for our Spanish-speaking girlies, they don’t just answer the call…they make an ENTRANCE!😎💃🏼

🫧TWEEN FACIALS ARE ON THE MENU!
Our esthetics students recently got some hands-on practice performing our Tween Facial—and they were ALL about those skincare skills!
Using IMAGE Skincare’s BIOME+ and ORMEDIC products, our students learned how to customize a gentle, age-appropriate facial experience while putting their classroom knowledge into practice.
From product selection to every relaxing step of the facial, our future estheticians are learning that great skincare starts with understanding the skin and treating it with care.
And can we just appreciate these little skincare pros in action?! 👏🏼💕
Learning today. Skincare pros tomorrow.✨

👩🏫➡️👩🎓When the Teachers Become Students Again—Just because you’re the teacher doesn’t mean you’re ever done learning!
Our CTC instructors recently traded their teacher hats for their student hats, and headed back to State Board to complete their required practical work for their instructor licenses.
And yes… even our instructors have to prove they’ve still got the skills! 😉💪🏼
From demonstrating their techniques to putting their knowledge to work, these ladies showed up, got to work, and handled business!
We LOVE that our instructors continue to learn, grow, sharpen their skills, and lead by example for our students. Because at CTC, the learning never stops!🩷💙
