the future artist scholarship fund
for the next generation of haircare rebels
5 scholarships
5 students ready to shake up haircare
up-and-comers, hair dreamers, true innovators
At K18, we’re on a mission to rewrite the rules on haircare. When talking about who our product is for, we lead with the statement ALL HAIR TYPES, ALL GENERATIONS, ALL TYPES OF EXPRESSION. This is because we know hair (and people) on a molecular level are all the same and all deserve to be celebrated. That’s why we want to build our rallying cry with the voices of all kinds of hair innovators.
With the launch of THE FUTURE ARTIST SCHOLARSHIP FUND, we are dedicated to supporting the next generation of BIPOC stylists with the funds needed to kickstart their education.
These 5 scholarships, supported by the Professional Beauty Association, ensure 5 of the industry’s most innovative minds have their chance at rewriting the rules on haircare without having to worryabout their access to the quality education they need to get them started.

our goal
As challengers of our industry’s status quo, and purveyors of our own haircare crusade, we believe it is our duty to champion a diverse array of thought and creativity. With this scholarship fund, we hope to take the first steps toward creating room for all hair innovators to have a voice in the next era of haircare.
This program is a K18-created, PBA-supported hair education scholarship to champion artists starting out on their hair journey.
