The Capri Holdings Foundation for the Advancement of Diversity in Fashion has announced its new scholarship program in partnership with the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), Howard University, PENSOLE Academy and Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.

Over the next four years, the foundation will fund scholarships for nearly 100 students from historically underrepresented communities, including the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) community, who are pursuing degrees in fashion and merchandising across all four institutions. 

The effort is part of the company’s $20 million pledge to advance equality and promote long-term change in the fashion industry. During the multi-year partnership, in addition to covering tuition, room and board, the scholarships will also fund internship-related expenses for students obtaining internships within the fashion industry.
