Fashion Service Network
Giving Back
The Fashion Service Network invests in the future of the industry.
The Fashion Service Network enjoys a close relationship with the Fashion Institute of Technology. Two graduate students from the Global Fashion Management program are selected annually to receive a FSN fellowship. Recipients are selected by FIT.
In previous years FSN scholarships alternated annually from the School of Art & Design and from the Jay and Patty Baker School of Business and Technology for an upper school scholarship. To date many scholarships and fellowships have been awarded. Many FSN scholars and fellows are now successfully working in the industry, with others completing their studies soon to follow.
In addition to the financial award, FSN invites all recipients to participate in most FSN meetings and events. FSN members always make time available to offer a broad range of expert advice and direction for our scholars with their careers.
For many years now, each semester the Fashion Service Network presents a panel class to the Faces & Places in Fashion class at FIT. Our members are often invited to present to a variety of classes at FIT.
Periodically the Fashion Service Network presents informative industry educational events and host private networking gatherings.
“Fashion Service Network proudly supports the Fashion Institute of Technology and awards a full scholarship each year.”
