The TOMODACHI-Uniqlo Fellowship

The TOMODACHI-Uniqlo Fellowship will provide financial support for a student from Japan who is enrolled in the MFA Fashion Design and Society program. This fellowship has been made possible by the generous support of the U.S.-Japan Council and Uniqlo.

The TOMODACHI-Uniqlo Fellowship is open to applicants from Japan and provides financial support up to the full cost of attendance (tuition and living expenses) for the two-year program. The amount awarded is based on the student’s financial need.

In addition, the fellowship recipient will have the opportunity to participate in a summer internship at Fast Retailing Co., Ltd., during the summer after his or her first year in the program.
