Cosmetology Assistance Fund Established Through Randolph Community College Foundation

A Cosmetology Assistance Fund has been established through the Randolph Community College Foundation to assist RCC Cosmetology students with expenses related to the program.

According to Tammy Matthews, Cosmetology program head, the initial supply kit to enter the program runs over $500, plus students must purchase a $100 cart to hold supplies, textbooks totaling around $276, and uniforms. This is in addition to tuition and regular student fees. "We established the new assistance fund to help needy students purchase the supplies that are required," said Matthews.

A second class of Cosmetology students will begin classes in January. The new Cosmetology Center at 1003 S. Fayetteville Street started offering services to the public on Nov. 5. For more information on the program or salon, go to http://www.randolph.edu/cosmetology/.
