Two University of South Carolina Department of Retailing students will receive scholarships to travel to New York City and attend New York Fashion Week events from September 8-11, 2022.

The scholarships will be offered through a partnership between the university's College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management and Office of Trademark Licensing and CLC's UofNYFW program. The program allows special access and networking with fashion industry leaders with an emphasis on experiential learning for students from select universities.

Students majoring in retailing and having junior or senior standing for the fall 2022 semester are eligible to apply for the scholarships, which will cover travel, lodging  and admission to selected events.

The winners will be chosen by Department of Retailing faculty and leadership.  Students with a Fashion Merchandising and Digital Innovations concentration will be given priority, as will students with a strong GPA and history of leadership/service endeavors.

Students interested must submit a resume and letter of interest along with relevant leadership and service examples via email to Department of Retailing Chair Jeffrey Campbell (jcampbell@hrsm.sc.edu) by 11:59 p.m. on August 15, 2022. Winners will be notified via email no later than August 19.
