Scholarship

SCHOLARSHIP

At Sephora, we believe in the beauty of diversity and the diversification of the beauty industry.  We created the Sephora Scholarship Program to EMPOWER diverse students including students of color pursuing a licensed career in beauty through professional training and education. This annual, six-month program provides participants with tuition for cosmetology and esthetician school, an internship at Sephora, firsthand industry experience, mentorship, and access to open roles following graduation. Upon program completion, they’ll also receive ongoing support through an alumni network and resources.

The 2022 program will run from April 2022 through August 2022.

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

1. Attend Sephora sponsored sessions each month on educational topics related to the pursuit of a career in beauty and other curated beauty industry content. These informative presentations will be hosted by leading beauty brands, industry insiders and Sephora’s Pro Team. Sessions will run from April 2022 until through August 2022. Most sessions will be scheduled on Mondays, but recordings will be made available following session. Scheduling will be determined by store management and will try to accommodate your schedule to the best of their ability.

2. Complete a 6-month internship in a Sephora store.  Sephora is following strict COVID-19 protocols to ensure client and employee safety and may affect your in-store experience. This is a paid internship, and you are expected to complete a minimum of 4 in-store hours during the duration of the internship. 

  • In-store internship is between April 11, 2022 and August 29, 2022.

           How to deliver exceptional customized paid service experiences including product knowledge, applications, and lessons in makeup and skincare.

           How Sephora stores operate with special emphasis on the Licensed Beauty Advisor role.

           How to live our Sephora values of Passion for Client Service, Innovation, Expertise, Work-Life Balance, Respect for All, Teamwork, and Initiative.

           You will also be expected to assist with the day-to-day store activities. Those activities include but are not limited to assisting with hygiene/cleaning                          protocols, product replenishment, loss prevention programs, client sampling program; and assisting in other areas of the store if requested/necessary.

3. Remain enrolled and in good standing in an eligible beauty/cosmetology/esthetician school.  If you are unable to complete your school program and/or are not in good standing, Sephora may seek to be reimbursed or not disperse funds if they have not been sent.
