Merchandising Scholarship

Our Merchandising Scholarship is Live!

Since 2015, Apparel Merchandising and Design students have had a chance to compete for the endowed Lora and Russ Talbot ISU Fashion Show Merchandising Scholarship. The project is designed by a local or national apparel company with the intent of solving a specific merchandising concern within the firm. The winner of this award will also receive a $2,000 scholarship.

This year, The Fashion Show is honored to partner with Oak Lane Candle Co. for the Lora and Russ Talbot ISU Fashion Show Merchandising Scholarship. Their team created and judged a case study project for Iowa State University students to research and complete. This year’s case study involved students developing an interactive customer experience to drive in-store sales at Oak Lane Candle Co. Stacy Negrete, the founder of Oak Lane Candle Co. was excited to get input from Iowa State students.

All submissions are due by Sunday, April 14th, at 11:59 PM. Please contact thefashionshow@iastate.edu if you are interested in competing.
