HAPPENINGS@CAPRI
The Capri Holdings Foundation for the Advancement of Diversity in Fashion, established
earlier this year by Capri Holdings Limited, is proud to announce an expansive new
scholarship program in partnership with the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), Howard
University, PENSOLE Academy and Central Saint Martins - University of the Arts London.
Over the next four years, the foundation will fund scholarships for nearly 100 students from
historically underrepresented communities, including the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and
people of color) community, who are pursuing degrees in fashion and merchandising across
all four institutions.
The effort is part of the company's $20 million pledge to advance equality and promote
long-term change in the fashion industry. During the multiyear partnership, in addition to
covering tuition, room and board, the scholarships will also fund internship-related expenses
for students obtaining internships within the fashion industry.
We are extremely excited to be a direct partner with FIT's newly launched Social Justice
Center. Click link below to access President Joyce F. Brown's video to learn more about the
Social Justice Center and Capri's partnership.
