The YMA Fashion Scholarship Fund (YMA FSF) is a nonprofit organization that has supported fashion, art, and business education for 80 years. Three of the scholarship winners were from the School of Fashion at Academy of Art University: BFA Fashion Design student Amanda Nyamache was awarded a $10,000 Geoffrey Beene Scholarship, and two BFA Fashion Merchandising students, Hyunji Lee and Elora Martinez, were each awarded a $5,000 scholarship.
For Fashion Journalism students Dwaine Hill, Marisa Tania, Brianna Wooten, and Faye Harris, pursuing a higher education at Academy of Art University has been a fundamental stepping stone on their journeys toward becoming the next generation of successful fashion journalism and social media professionals.
