The Professional Beauty Association (PBA) announced that applications for the 2014 Minerva Beauty Scholarship are now available. Five $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to students who are currently enrolled in an accredited cosmetology school.

Funded by Minerva Beauty and administered by PBA Foundation, the five scholarship recipients will be reviewed by a committee appointed by the PBA Chair, and notified by email.
