Discount and Scholarship Eligibility
Discounts and scholarships are reserved exclusively for students who are self-paying and have exhausted all other funding sources, including but not limited to grants, financial aid, or employer sponsorships.
The School may offer eligible students access to a structured package of optional merit-based discounts, incentives, and scholarship-style conditional cost reductions that may reduce the Student's net program cost when the applicable conditions are fully satisfied, documented, verified, and approved by the School.
These opportunities are entirely optional. The Student is not required to participate in public posting, tagging, review activity, sanitation-support activity, or extra self-documentation in order to enroll, remain enrolled, receive instruction, or complete the program at the standard contracted price.
A. Economic Baseline and Maximum Conditional Reduction
- Standard contracted program cost: $8,325.50
- Possible lowest eligible net cost if all applicable optional incentives are fully earned, approved, and lawfully combined under the School's written pricing structure: $3,800.00
- Maximum possible conditional reduction from the standard contracted cost: $4,525.50
The reduced figure above is a conditional possible outcome only. It is not automatic, is not guaranteed, and does not apply unless the School verifies that the applicable incentive conditions were actually satisfied.
B. Incentive Lanes and Student Expectations
- Payment-at-enrollment lane
Maximum value: up to $1,000.00
Required action: approved full payment at enrollment before the program start date if offered by the School in writing.
Tracking responsibility: Student must keep the receipt, payment confirmation, or other written proof.
- Attendance-discipline lane
Full-Time Attendance (30–40 Hours/Week): up to $1,275.50 in conditional discount value for consistent attendance and accurate clock records over approximately 15 weeks, subject to School attendance verification and continued good standing.
Part-Time Attendance (20–30 Hours/Week): up to $500.00 in conditional discount value, subject to School attendance verification and continued good standing.
Attendance of Less Than 20 Hours/Week: no standard attendance discount.
Tracking responsibility: School attendance records control, but the Student remains responsible for checking weekly hour accuracy.
- Academic-mastery and theory-success lane
Maximum value: up to $500.00
Example structure: 5 approved Milady/MindTap theory achievements at $100.00 per achievement
Required action: truthful proof of designated theory achievement, including approved score proof, chapter proof, or milestone proof.
Frequency guideline: normally no more than 1 counted theory achievement per chapter or milestone unless the School approves otherwise in writing.
- Sanitation, safety, and station-readiness lane
Maximum value: up to $500.00
Example structure: 10 approved sanitation-support submissions at $50.00 per submission
Required action: truthful documentation of sanitation procedure, disinfection workflow, station setup, safety process, or related approved nail-program sanitation support.
- Professional work and digital portfolio lane
Maximum value: up to $750.00
Example structure: 10 approved practical-work or portfolio posts at $75.00 per post
Required action: truthful documentation of completed nail work, professional growth, portfolio development, or approved practical self-proof that supports employability and professional presentation.
- Client safety, professional conduct, and reputation-training lane
Maximum value: up to $500.00
Example structure: 5 approved client-safety or professional-conduct actions at $100.00 per action
Required action: verified competency, sanitation compliance, client-service professionalism, and any School-approved educational documentation connected to the service.
Important limitation: any educational mock-review exercise used by the School must remain a training exercise only. If a client voluntarily leaves a real review on Google or Yelp, it may be considered as supporting evidence, but no specific star rating may be required.
C. Student Self-Tracking and Submission Duty
The Student is responsible for maintaining a personal record of claimed incentive activity. Unless the School instructs otherwise in writing, the Student should keep screenshots of qualifying posts, tags, and public documentation; score reports, chapter-completion proof, or milestone proof where applicable; photos, videos, or other proof of sanitation, setup, nail work, or practical activity where applicable; dates and short descriptions of each claimed action; and copies of any text messages or emails sent to the School reporting the completed action.
To protect incentive eligibility, the Student should submit or report qualifying activity to the School by text or email during the program and no later than before graduation processing. The School may deny late, missing, unverifiable, or poorly documented claims.
D. Nail-Technology-Specific Sanitation and Client-Readiness Expectations
For Nail Technology practical sanitation proof, the School may require documentation showing disinfection workflow, workstation reset, tool handling, sanitation sequencing, client-hand protection, clean presentation, and lawful nail-service professionalism.
E. Career-Credit Scorecard and Internal Review
The School may evaluate qualifying incentive work through an internal career-credit scorecard or career-credit scoring system that measures documented professionalism, sanitation reliability, safety reliability, attendance discipline, theory completion, practical readiness, portfolio quality, truthful public self-proof, employability-building behavior, and respectful representation of the School.
This scorecard is an internal educational review tool only. It is not a consumer credit score, lending score, or financial credit instrument.
F. Award, Denial, Forfeiture, and Interpretation
GRADUATION/PROGRAM COMPLETION REQUIRED — ALL CONDITIONAL DISCOUNTS VOID UPON SEPARATION BEFORE COMPLETION.
All School-funded discounts, incentive credits, scholarship-style tuition reductions, and other conditional price reductions under this Agreement are expressly conditioned on the Student successfully completing the enrolled Program and satisfying the written conditions for the reduction. Until completion, each reduction is provisional, even if previously earned through an individual activity, approved, verified, posted, invoiced, or applied to the account.
If the Student withdraws, cancels enrollment, abandons the Program, is administratively withdrawn, is expelled, dismissed, or terminated, transfers out, or otherwise separates from the Program before successful completion, ONE HUNDRED PERCENT (100%) of those conditional discounts, incentive credits, and reductions are automatically void and forfeited, regardless of the reason for separation, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Completing an individual incentive activity, making an early or full payment at a conditionally discounted amount, or receiving a statement showing a zero balance does not waive this completion condition.
Upon such separation, the School shall remove the conditional reductions and calculate the Student's account using the standard contracted program price stated in this signed Agreement, then apply the governing cancellation/refund policy, all payments actually received, and all credits or adjustments required by law. Forfeiture does not automatically make the entire standard program price collectible. It does not authorize a charge above the agreed contracted amount, an additional penalty, retention of a legally required refund, or removal of money actually paid by the Student or a third party.
Successful completion for this provision means completion of the Program's required instructional hours and academic, practical, sanitation, safety, and other nonfinancial completion requirements. Merely not attending a ceremony, awaiting a licensing examination or license, or a delay in issuing completion documents after those requirements are satisfied does not itself trigger forfeiture. A student still enrolled has not forfeited reductions merely because graduation has not yet occurred.
Applicable law and the governing cancellation/refund policy control over this provision. No forfeiture applies to the extent prohibited by law, and this provision does not excuse the School's own nonperformance or override rights arising from School closure or discontinuance of the Program. Before collecting an adjusted balance, the School shall provide a written itemized accounting showing the reductions reversed, payments credited, refund calculation, and resulting balance, and allow the Student to request human review within thirty (30) days. Truthfully completed instructional hours and required Board reporting remain unaffected.
This provision controls over inconsistent statements concerning whether these reductions become final before completion. It applies to agreements signed with this provision included; it does not retroactively amend an earlier signed agreement without a lawful written amendment.
The School's incentive system is intended to reward documented discipline, safety, sanitation, employability, professional maturity, effort, educational follow-through, and career-credit growth. It is not intended to compel speech, require false praise, require guaranteed positive public statements, or force any student to engage in public activity against the Student's will.
