From the Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards:
The WizeHive application portal for the 2027 Fashion Scholarship Fund (FSF) Competition is now open!
The topic for the 2027 competition is Unlocking Hidden Potential: Identifying High Value Consumer Groups.
Submissions are due on Monday, October 12, 2026, by 11:59 AM EST.
FSF has created a comprehensive “How to Apply” Guide to support students through the application process. The guide outlines the four case study disciplines (Design and Product Development, Marketing, Merchandising, Business Strategy), all competition requirements, including eligibility criteria, and any required submission materials beyond the Case Study. Use the QR codes on pg. 4 to access each case study discipline!
All interested applicants should begin their profile on the WizeHive platform as soon as possible. Once a profile is created, students will receive regular communications from the FSF team, including access to application support and invitations to virtual programming such as:
- 2026 FSF Summer Scholars Series Events
- Bi-annual virtual FSF Talent Acquisition Event (September 2026 and February 2027)
- FSF University, a free, virtual preparatory course offering step-by-step guidance to help students build a strong Case Study submission
Students can access the WizeHive application portal through the How to Apply Guide (pg. 10, "Deadlines and Announcements...") or by clicking here.
