If you’re at least 17 and will need Federal Student Aid, a high school diploma or GED is required and you must:

• Visit the school and meet with the admissions representative.
• Provide a copy of your high school diploma, GED, or your California State Proficiency Test or its equivalent.
• If the institution or the Secretary has reason to believe that the high school diploma is not valid or was not obtained from an entity that provides secondary school education, Santa Ana Beauty College will follow the procedures below:
  • Check with the high school to confirm the validity of the student’s diploma; and
  • Confirm with the relevant department or agency in the state in which the secondary school is located that the secondary school is recognized as a provider of secondary school education.
• Provide a valid Social Security card or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.
• Provide a driver’s license or a government-issued photo identification card.

If you do not have a high school diploma or its equivalent, Federal Student Aid will not be available to you. If you would still like to join the program without federal assistance, you must:
