Study Abroad Scholarship:* Every Fashion Scholar is given $5,000 to support a Study Abroad program of their choice. Current LIM College Study Abroad options include programs throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America.

Industry Mentors: All Fashion Scholars are paired with a fashion industry executive as a mentor to support them in setting and achieving their career goals.

Personalized Advising: Senior LIM personnel provide mentorship and guidance, meeting with Fashion Scholars individually on a regular basis for academic and career advising.

Priority Registration: Fashion Scholars are allowed to register for their classes before registration formally opens to the rest of the student body.

Honors Courses: Fashion Scholars take one to three exclusive Honors classes each semester, learning from some of LIM’s most experienced faculty. These courses explore material in additional depth, further refining students’ critical-thinking, communications, and analytic skills.

Alumni Network: Fashion Scholar alumni mentor current Fashion Scholars, providing valuable advice on academic matters and extracurricular and career-building activities. Alumni can also be important networking contacts for internship and job opportunities.

*This feature was first introduced for the class entering in Fall 2017.
