The Marinello Raw Talent High School Scholarship contest competition awarded scholarships to five lucky participants to help them pursue their dreams of a professional career in the beauty industry. The first place winner received $10,000 and the four runner-ups will received $5,000.

This year’s first place scholarship winner was Jessica Wylie, a cosmetology student at the Marinello campus in Redding, California. Wylie moved the scholarship committee with her essay Beauty from Ashes, which described a goodwill program between Marinello students providing free cosmetology services to young female victims of abuse, inspired by her own experience volunteering as a mentor at a safe house for victimized girls.

The $5,000 runner-up winners included:

• Metzli Gallo, a cosmetology student of Ontario, California
• Maricela Lopez an esthetics student attending the San Francisco campus
• Leonel Torres, a cosmetology student from the San Diego campus
• Ruth Rubio, an esthetics student at the Burbank, California campus

Congratulations to all the winners!
