Fashion Scholarship Fund Case Study Scholarship
Offered by Fashion Scholarship Fund
About this scholarship
The Fashion Scholarship Fund Case Study Scholarship is the organization’s signature competition for undergraduates interested in the fashion industry. FSF awards more than 160 scholarships each year, generally beginning at $10,000, with the top Chairman’s Award reaching $25,000. Applicants choose one of four disciplines—business strategy, design and product development, marketing, or merchandising—and create a researched written and visual case study addressing the current industry prompt. The 2027 prompt asks students to identify a high-value consumer group and show how a fashion brand or retailer can build a stronger connection with it. Candidates must be full-time sophomores, juniors, or seniors graduating no earlier than spring 2027 at a four-year U.S. college or university. Students at both FSF member and nonmember schools may compete, and F-1 international students are eligible when they meet the program requirements. Member-school students obtain portal credentials from their FSF educator; other eligible students should contact FSF through the official program page for enrollment in Wizehive. Winners also receive mentorship, professional programming, recruiting access, and travel and lodging for the FSF LIVE gala in New York. The case study is due October 12, 2026 at 11:59 a.m. Eastern.
