For Alumni

 
 
 

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.

 

GET IN ON Exclusive events

As an FSF Alumnus, the opportunities to learn never end. In addition to our professional development events, Q&As with industry leaders, networking opportunities, and more, Alumni are invited to our annual Summer Scholar Series virtual events. The incredible lineup of FSF events is open to current Scholars and the FSF Board of Governors too. You don’t want to miss these!

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.
