La' James International College Student Receives Vidal Sassoon Professional Education Scholarship

    DAVENPORT, IA, November 10, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Congratulations to Cameron Kepford, graduate of La' James International College in Davenport! Earlier this week, Cameron was awarded the Fall 2016 Vidal Sassoon Professional Education Cosmetologist Scholarship! He was one of ten selected out of 264 applicants nationwide and is the first Iowan awarded this scholarship. This is a huge honor and everyone at LJIC is very proud of him!

The Vidal Sassoon Professional Beauty Education Scholarship Program honors the legacy of beauty legend Vidal Sassoon and pays homage to his belief in lifelong education. Each competition awards ten winners with 50% of their program tuition costs, covered at a qualifying AACS cosmetology school (up to $10,000). Competition rounds are held each Spring and Fall, and are designed for prospective and newer students.

Established in 2012, this competition provides financial assistance and professional exposure, while celebrating the passion of aspiring hairstylists. "Many Basic and Advanced winners have been featured in the pages of leading salon and beauty publications," said Beauty Changes Lives Foundation President Lynelle Lynch. "This exposure elevates winners' personal brands in front of employers and the entire industry."

"I found out on the day I graduated from LJIC that I was a recipient of the scholarship which was amazing! I still cannot believe it! I had an awesome experience at La' James International College and this is an excellent way to conclude my education. I am so happy I chose LJIC and I am looking forward to the next chapter of my career at my own salon Haus of Heir" said Cameron.
