The Power of ONE Candy Shaw Education Scholarships

We are excited to share an incredible opportunity for our students and graduates!

The Power of ONE Candy Shaw Education Scholarship was developed to honor Candy Shaw, one of the most celebrated champions of the mission and leadership upheld by Beauty Changes Lives.

This scholarship focuses on supporting current and future beauty professionals, with a special emphasis on Candy’s passion for continuing education.

The Power of ONE Day Fundraiser This scholarship is made possible by the 2024 One Day. One Ticket. fundraiser, spearheaded by Candy Shaw herself. This initiative encourages the beauty and wellness community to come together, supporting each other by donating the value of just one ticket on one day. The collective effort has made a significant impact, raising over $100,000 in its debut year and an impressive $135,000 in its second year.

Candy’s commitment to success has become the cornerstone of Beauty Changes Lives’ fundraising efforts, inspiring growth and change in our industry for years to come. We invite you to learn more and register for the upcoming One Day. One Ticket. event in 2025.
