We are excited to announce that eligible students may now use Florida Prepaid College Plan benefits to help pay for their barbering education at Miami Barber Institute.

This new funding option represents an important milestone for our institution and creates additional opportunities for Florida families who have invested in prepaid educational benefits to support their children’s future.

At Miami Barber Institute, we are committed to expanding access to professional education and helping students pursue rewarding careers in barbering. The addition of Florida Prepaid strengthens the funding resources available to eligible students and families as they plan for their educational journey.

A New Funding Opportunity for Florida Families

For many years, Florida families have used Florida Prepaid College Plans to prepare for the cost of higher education. We are proud to now offer eligible students the opportunity to apply those benefits toward their barbering education at Miami Barber Institute.

This announcement provides greater flexibility for students seeking a hands-on, career-focused educational pathway and reinforces our commitment to helping students access the resources they need to pursue their goals.

Part of Our Five Funding Pillars

Florida Prepaid College Plans now join the Five Funding Pillars available to eligible students at Miami Barber Institute:

• Federal Financial Aid
• Florida Prepaid College Plans
• Veterans Education Benefits (GI Bill®)
• Vocational Rehabilitation Funding
• Scholarships, including the MBI Economic Hardship Scholarship

Together, these funding pathways provide prospective students and families with multiple options for financing a barbering education.

As the only accredited barber school in Miami-Dade County offering access to Federal Financial Aid for eligible students, Miami Barber Institute continues to expand educational accessibility while maintaining a strong commitment to student success.

Training for a Professional Career

Miami Barber Institute offers career-focused barbering programs designed to prepare students for professional licensure and employment opportunities in the barbering industry.

Students may choose from our:

• 900-Hour Barber Program
• 600-Hour Restricted Barber Program

Both programs are available in hybrid learning formats that combine online instruction with hands-on training and practical experience. The Restricted Barber Program prepares students for the Florida Restricted Barber licensure examination.

Our programs are designed to help students develop technical skills, professional confidence, and the business knowledge needed to succeed in today’s barbering industry.

Educational decisions are often family decisions. Whether you are a recent high school graduate, a parent planning for your child’s future, a veteran, or a working adult pursuing a new career path, our Admissions and Financial Aid teams are available to help you understand the funding opportunities that may be available.
