Teen Fashion Innovators Search
The Art Institutes and ELLEgirl magazine proudly announce the first annual Art Institutes' "Teen Fashion Innovators Search," a fashion scholarship competition for high school seniors across the US and Canada.
Scholarships totaling $230,000 will be awarded on local and national levels.
One national winner in Fashion Design and one winner in Fashion Marketing and Merchandising will be selected to receive full scholarships, each worth more than $30,000, to study at The Art Institute school of their choice from 16 locations offering fashion programs across North America.
"Design classes in high schools have become career incubators, giving students the opportunity to hone in on what they're most interested in, whether it's fashion design, patternmaking or textile design," said Bruce Dempsey, Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs for The Art Institutes.
"From there they can grow that interest at design school, and turn their passion and hard work into a successful and rewarding career."
In addition to winning full scholarships, the grand prize-winning students will attend the February 2006 New York Fashion Week fashion shows with ELLEgirl editors, as well as be featured in the magazine.
