An extension of the brand's philanthropic arm, the Kiss Colors & Care Foundation, the scholarship will award up to $15,000 to five deserving students to assist with the cost of their post-secondary education endeavors.
"Kiss Colors & Care's commitment to championing confidence and self-expression goes beyond the styling solutions we provide. At the core of our philosophy is empowering the minds of the next generation of trailblazers, changemakers and industry leaders, ensuring that they realize their full potential," said Jennifer Clark, director of marketing. "We are excited to continue the work of the Kiss Colors & Cares Foundation for the second year, specifically through our Next Generation Leaders Scholarship, as it is a testament to how we mobilize our mission to arm our communities with the tools and resources to be their authentic self and create their own pathways to success."
The Next Generation Leaders Scholarship is open to students in their final year of high school. Interested applicants can apply online beginning April 15, 2024, with applications closing on May 6 at midnight EST. The scholarship may be used toward post-secondary education, including two- and four-year universities, trade schools or vocational programs.
In addition to its annual scholarship program, the Kiss Colors & Care Foundation offers educational advancement support for various age groups. The three-pillar program provides tools and resources for individuals in primary school, post-high school and college, with the goal of propelling students forward in their education and career development.
