About Kenner, Louisiana
Kenner is a city in the U.S. state of Louisiana. In 1855, Kenner was founded by Minor Kenner on land that consisted of three plantation properties Oakland, Belle Grove and Pasture that had been purchased by the Kenner family. At the time, all land north of what is now Airline Highway was swampland. A. J. Muss Bertolino Playground – Ed Daniels Field at Muss Bertolino Stadium is a 1,500-seat stadium that hosts high school football, lacrosse and soccer games. The stadium was also the home for the New Orleans Jesters professional soccer team. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?
John Jay Beauty College funds essentially no grants of its own — almost all aid here comes from federal (Pell), state, or outside sources rather than the school's own discount. Its sticker price is what it is.

The payoff is less clear-cut here — weigh the debt against the earnings and your intended field before borrowing heavily.
Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
