News LIFE CHANGER Originally created to honor the legendary Vidal Sassoon's legacy, the Beauty Changes Lives Foundation's annual fall 2017 scholarship program kicked off this summer. Based on skill level, students applied for the Vidal Sassoon Professional Beauty Education Scholarship in either the "Basic" or "Advanced" category. Funded by Wella Professionals' Hairdressers at Heart, the "Basic" award provides 50 percent of tuition covered at an American Association of Cosmetology School. All "Advanced" winners are given a fi ve-day education seminar worth $5,000 value. Each applicant must send in a video about how working in beauty "changes lives" in order to be considered. "It's our honor to invest in the education and continued learning for students and professionals who are the future stars of our industry," says Sal Mauceri, senior vice president of North American Coty Professional Beauty and Global OPI.
