Scholarships and Awards Program

1. Objective: Student Support and Scholarships

This objective focuses on providing general support for student awards, addressing student needs, and offering academic scholarships each semester to assist students with expenses related to attending ATLBIF.

2. Objective: Educational Grants

This priority aims to offer immediate funding to ATLBIF students to help them cover unexpected and unique expenses that go beyond regular educational costs covered by financial assistance, such as transportation, medical needs, or child care, which can hinder student graduation.

3. Objective: Equipment Grants

In order to ensure that our students are equipped with modern tools necessary for the high-demand jobs of the 21st century, Atlanta Barber Intitute relies on contributions of up-to-date instructional equipment from local industries. The institution's funding falls short in keeping pace with the rapid advancements in equipment. Matching funds (1:1) are accessible based on the equipment's value or cash generated for this objective.

4. Objective: Faculty Recognition and Assistance

A key objective of the institution is to sustain a high-quality faculty. This not only benefits the institution by aiding in meeting accreditation standards but also ensures that our students receive top-notch instruction.
