Even after graduation, the FSF continues to provide its Alumni with professional guidance, exclusive events, and financial support. As an alumnus, you can also become a mentor to a current FSF scholar and give back to the program that helped launch your own career.
Alumni Association
The FSF Alumni Association is comprised of over 2,800 former Scholars and led by a dedicated group of five former FSF Scholars.
Together with the FSF Board of Governors, the Alumni Association plans exclusive year-round professional development events with industry luminaries and professional networking opportunities.
The Support Never Ends
The FSF supports your fashion ambitions even after you’ve graduated. The Accelerator Program awards a $50,000 grant and a year of mentoring by a team of industry leaders to an outstanding FSF Alumni-led start-up each year.
