Virtual event announces scholarship winner on Giving Tuesday
According to the New York Times, Black representation in fashion is widely inconsistent. The BFWF 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. The recipient of the educational assistance award will be slated to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology in the Spring of 2023.
