Scholarship Op for Future Fashion Designers

If you’re a future designer and are setting your sites on going to design college in fall 2010, here’s a scholarship opportunity for you. The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and Teen Vogue have joined forces with Target to offer scholarships for top design schools for a few lucky talented teens.

The grand prize winner will receive up to $25,000 in tuition, plus a trip to Target headquarters in Minneapolis to work with the Target Design team and a trip to New York City to attend the CFDA Fashion Awards. Five runners-up will win $5,000 each, and all six finalists will receive a Singer sewing machine as well a collection of design books and guides.

Interested? Submit a completed application (including high school transcripts, two letters of recommendation, and an essay explaining why you want to be a designer) and a mood board (with sketches) illustrating your views on fashion between July 15 and July 20, 2009. Oh, and application forms won’t be available for download after June 30, so don’t delay!
