Bursaries
About
Every year, The Black Fashion and Beauty Gala sponsors a bursary program, granting an aspiring student or entrepreneur the chance to pursue their education in the beauty and design industry. The bursary was created to decrease the dropout rate amongst Black students, due to unavailable funds, and support despite their high intellect. The bursary is also available to existing and start-up Black businesses.
The Grant
BFBG donates $5,000 annually to the awarded candidate. The BFBG Bursary Program is made possible by the generous donation from Holt Renfrew, which shares the mission of supporting the education of emerging Black talents.
