Join us in congratulating @divine_kidstyles on receiving the Summer 2025 We Are Wella @wellaeducation $2,500 Scholarship through @beautychangeslives! 🎉✨
When you stay persistent, show up for your dreams, and choose faith over fear, the right doors will open. ✨
“I genuinely believe God led me to International Institute of Cosmetology for this exact reason — to remind me that obedience and faith open doors that fear can’t. To anyone thinking about applying for a scholarship, go for it. The worst that can happen is a ‘no,’ but if you never try, you’ll never know. Have faith — even the size of a mustard seed — and believe that what’s meant for you will find you.” 🌱✨
We are so proud of you and we know this is just the beginning. 💫
