Supporting the FIT Precollege Programs Fund helps nurture the next generation of creative thinkers, innovators, and leaders. Each year, thousands of middle and high school students from around the world come to FIT, on campus and online to explore art, fashion, design, business, and technology through immersive college-level courses taught by FIT’s distinguished faculty.

Precollege Programs serve as a gateway to higher education and creative careers. Students develop portfolios, strengthen their technical skills, and build confidence as they learn in FIT’s professional studios, labs, and classrooms. Many go on to become FIT undergraduates, shaping industries in fashion, beauty, communication, fine arts, and beyond.

A gift to the Precollege Programs Fund supports scholarships, program innovation, and hands-on experiences that make creativity accessible to all students regardless of background or financial means. Your contribution helps us expand opportunities for young learners to engage in real-world projects, visit industry spaces, and imagine new possibilities for their futures.

Every gift makes a difference.

A gift of $25 supports the art and design materials that enrich learning across our Precollege classrooms and studios for students.

A gift of $250 equips an entire classroom with the tools and resources needed for hands-on, creative exploration.

A gift of $500 provides a full scholarship for a student to take a Precollege class, giving a student the chance to explore their creativity and potential.

With your support, FIT Precollege Programs will continue inspiring young creatives to take their first steps toward a future filled with imagination, skill, and opportunity.
