A well-tailored outfit does more than just look good – it can transform how you feel and how others perceive you. The Suit-Up Scholars program is designed to empower students who need assistance obtaining and tailoring professional attire.
In partnership with sewBoise, the Suit-Up Scholars program provides students with a voucher worth up to $100 to be redeemed for tailoring. The program ensures students can present themselves in important academic and professional settings. Eligibility is based on demonstrated need, and students who aren’t selected can apply again each semester.
To apply, please fill out the application linked below. Students will be notified if they are chosen within two weeks of the closing date of the application.
Application for the Spring semester will be open February 11 – March 16
