The Cécred x BeyGOOD Fund announced the first winners of its student scholarships and salon business grants. When Cécred launched in February of this year, founder Beyoncé Knowles-Carter committed to awarding an annual $500,000 through the Cécred x BeyGOOD Fund to fund cosmetology school scholarships and salon business grants across five cities chosen for their large, diverse community of hairstylists: Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, and New Jersey.
The announcement of the fund’s first round of winners comes just days before National Hairstylist Day on April 30th, underscoring Knowles-Carter’s dedication to honoring the stylist community through fostering talent and supporting entrepreneurship through economic equity.
