Attend FIDM and become part of a larger community. FIDM believes in giving back to the communities in which we live and work. For us, that means not only the Apparel and Design Industries, but also the educational community and the community at large.
Supporting Educators As part of our support for the arts and education, the FIDM Community & Educational Affairs department offers presentations free-of-charge to high school and college educators and their students on curriculum-related topics. The "Just for Educators" section of our website provides free classroom resources, visit FIDM grants, and other valuable content exclusively for high school and college educators at fidm.edu.

The FIDM Scholarship Foundation The Scholarship Foundation's mission is to help students and their families afford a college education. The FIDM Scholarship Store, on the LA campus, sells donated merchandise at below wholesale prices, to generate scholarship dollars for current FIDM Students. In addition, the Foundation has an up-to-date listing of outside scholarships, available to FIDM Students as well as non-FIDM Students: FIDMScholarshipFoundation.org.
American Heart Association Each year, we partner with the American Heart Association to have a select group of our fashion design students create red dresses in honor of Go Red For Women®.
Born This Way Foundation The FIDM DEBUT Runway Show, our biggest event of the year, has partnered with Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation. Ticket proceeds help fund programs like Channel Kindness, a platform featuring stories of kindness.
