European Wax Center’s “Champions in Confidence” Student and Advanced Education Scholarship 

Associates employed at a European Wax Center location know one reservation can help transform a guest’s mood, day or even their perception of themselves. From the EWC center manager, wax specialist, and guest service associate, we make sure that every person that walks through our door leaves feeling like their best self. 

We’re committed to fostering the well-being of all EWC associates and know that economic constraints can produce a heavy burden within their daily lives. Financial issues can affect the self-esteem, confidence and performance of front-line associates and make it difficult for them to be their best self.  

European Wax Center is partnering with Beauty Changes Lives to offer the European Wax Center “Champions in Confidence” Student and Advanced Education Scholarship. This scholarship is intended to provide financial support for EWC associates (eligible to both franchisee and corporate employed associates) currently employed at a European Wax Center location (franchised or corporate locations) to support educational opportunities for career growth.
