For nearly a decade Fashion-School.org has been providing scholarships for graduation High School seniors entering college fashion programs at the start of their careers.

This year, we proud to announce we are expanding our scholarship opportunities to CURRENT COLLEGE fashion students. We know that college can be incredibly expensive and the financial burden can be quite a challenge.

We believe this scholarship expansion helps to support our two of our fundamental goals:

  2. To encourage aspiring fashion professionals to research and understand what a career in fashion requires.
