Black Fashion World 2022 Scholarship Fund for Fashion Entrepreneurs
The BFW Scholarship Fund provides an educational grant to African Americans who are limited financially and have displayed a compelling desire to pursue a career in the fashion industry, despite adverse situations they have encountered.
Their challenges may have ranged from socio-economic setbacks including teen pregnancy; former incarceration; interrupted schooling; poverty and homelessness. According to datawheel.us in 2017 the student population at the Fashion Institute of Technology for Black or African Americans was 9.27%, as compared to 44.3% White, 18.8% Hispanic or Latino, and 11.2% Asian. Black Fashion World Foundation’s aim is to eradicate financial barriers that can hinder this demographic of creatives from obtaining the necessary education that is vital to their journey to fulfilling their fashion dreams.
