Barbering college is a prerequisite for application to the State of California license examination that is conducted by the State Board of Barber Examiners and also prepares the student for entry-level employment as a barber.
The students are not qualified to perform any barbering services until they pass the California Barber examination administered by the California State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology.
Scholarship Opportunities for San Pablo Residents
We have agreed to provide grant funding up to $5,000. Moler Barber College will provide an additional $500.00 tuition grant to recipients of the San Pablo EDC job training grant. Students can keep their tips earned and may choose to use them to pay back the (currently) no interest loan that Moler makes to qualified applicants who cannot meet the remaining out of pocket tuition and fee expenses once all other financial aid is applied.
