FSF Alumni association - OUR Mission
Every year, the Fashion Scholarship Fund provides more than $1M in scholarship money to undergraduate college students who are pursuing careers in the fashion industry. Through our scholars we have created a community that fosters relationships beyond the college campus. The Fashion Scholarship Fund Alumni Association allows previous scholars to connect with industry professionals and build a network within the industry that will last a lifetime. Established to connect past, current and future YMA FSF scholarship recipients, this growing dynamic will enhance individual networks, provide career mentorship and help you reach a new level of success in your field.
HOW TO Become a FSF ALUMNI DONOR
Starting in the 18/19 fiscal year, the Fashion Scholarship Fund will shift its Alumni Association donation structure from the $50 annual donation membership to a “Pay as You Wish” sponsorship, allowing alumni to support the organization with an amount commensurate with your financial or career standing and renew their sponsorship annually.

The Fashion Scholarship Fund is a national not-for-profit organization, meaning, every penny given out in scholarships, grants, events and educational programs is all 100% funded through charitable donations from supporters. As an FSF alumni, now connected with our network through FSF Connect, you can enjoy all the benefits of our community. We ask that you click here to enroll in the FSF Alumni sponsorship tier best suited for you and give back to the organization which supported you during your college years. For every $2,500 raised, the FSF Board of Governors will match our donations and we will award an “Alumni Association” scholarship to a 2019 scholar.
Donation benefits are effective beginning August of each year and conclude at the end of July.
