Student ResourcesFinancial assistance, veteran benefits, licensing guidance and the official links you'll actually use as a New York barbering student — all in one place.
Four ways ABI helps you fund your education and get licensed to work in New York.
A New York State program for individuals with documented disabilities. If you qualify, it can cover tuition, tools and supplies — at no cost to you.
ABI accepts the Post-9/11 GI Bill® (Ch. 33), VR&E (Ch. 31), Montgomery GI Bill® and DEA (Ch. 35) and certifies your enrollment with the VA.
Every student is prepared for the New York State Board of Barbering Examination — written and practical — required to work in any NY barbershop.
Students purchase their own tools, books and supplies — directly from ABI at registration or from approved third-party suppliers.
Our admissions team can guide you through financial assistance, VA benefits and enrollment paperwork — don't let finances be a barrier to your future.
