The YMA Fashion Scholarship Fund and The Geoffrey Beene Foundation have formed a five-year strategic alliance to further their mutual goals of expanding support for students seeking careers in the fashion industry. The Geoffrey Beene Foundation will contribute $2 Million to the fund over the next five years. The pledge is in addition to the $1 Million contributed by the Foundation in 2006.
Beginning this year, the YMA Fashion Scholarship Fund will award the Geoffrey Beene National Scholarship to four enterprising students majoring in fashion and related disciplines. These $25,000 scholarships will be given annually to the most outstanding students identified at the Fund’s 26 participating colleges and universities across the United States.
The foundation’s contribution will also underwrite a major portion of our annual awards dinner, one of the premier events on the New York fashion calendar. The event will now be known as “The YMA Geoffrey Beene Fashion Scholarship Dinner.”
