The CFDA is proud to have partnered with Teen Vogue and enduring partner Target for the now-retired CFDA/Teen Vogue Scholarship in Partnership with Target.  In 2011, the CFDA/Teen Vogue Scholarship Program, which had previously been a nationwide scholarship competition for high school students, was repositioned as an exclusive opportunity for full-time sophomore fashion design students who attend one of CFDA’s Participating Schools. Awards were based on merit, and monies used towards the students’ tuition and/or educational expenses. Target has made significant donations annually to help endow this program. Target showed its unwavering dedication to support emerging design talent by awarding $25,000 to the top winner and the title Target Fashion Scholar. In addition, Target arranged for supplemental learning opportunities on the Target Fashion Scholar’s behalf – including a trip to their headquarters in Minneapolis to work with the Target Design team. The winner attended and was announced at the annual CFDA Fashion Awards every June.

Target continues to underwrite the CFDA {Fashion Incubator} and provides support to other CFDA divisions
