Support our Students
Are you just as inspired as we are by our incredible students and what they mean for the future of fashion? Help us in supporting their education in the following ways…
GIVING TUESDAY 2026
This year, the New York City Fashion Housing Fund is a Giving Tuesday featured fund. Over the month of November, 2026, the NYC Fashion Housing Fund will receive a $500 participation boost for every 25 unique donors who give $25.
As the program continues to grow, Kent State’s School of Fashion is committed to making studying and living in New York City for a semester more accessible for students. The knowledge, experience and professional networks available in NYC are life-changing and have a lasting impact on a fashion student's future career. Securing safe, affordable housing in the city has become increasingly difficult and can be a significant barrier to participation, particularly for first-generation or financially under-resourced students.
GENERAL PROGRAM SUPPORT
Your support will provide students with access to leadership opportunities, guest lectures by industry leaders, the latest technology, commercial equipment and a place at fashion industry events and activities.
