The Hair Industries Support Opportunities Charitable Trust (HISO) is pleased to announce the 2025 funding rounds to continue to support the New Zealand hair industries and promote the profession, the people and events.

HISO’s goal is to enable more people to participate in the hair industries by providing funding opportunities. Whether you are a hairdresser, barber or apprentice who needs financial support to continue the qualification journey, or an employer who wishes to upskill to support their growing business, HISO looks forward to supporting apprentices to grow, develop and shine.

After a successful launch in 2024 HISO helped 118 applicants with various scholarships for apprenticeship fees, training opportunities, experiences and tools. HISO is looking forward to supporting the hair industries further in 2025 with two funding rounds.

To check if you are eligible for these funding opportunities, please visit www.hiso.org.nz to see the criteria and application process

HISO next round will be open for applications  6 – 20 October 2025
