STYLED FOR SUCCESS – Outfit Your Ambitions!

The UNC Career Center partners with UNC donors and the Office of Scholarships & Student Aid to offer funding that helps make professional development experiences—such as internships, conferences, interviews, and networking events—more accessible to students.


STYLED FOR SUCCESS – Outfit Your Ambitions!

Styled for Success provides reimbursement funds to juniors, seniors, and graduate students who:

  • Have a CURRENT FAFSA on file,
  • Receive need-based financial aid, and
  • Are currently involved in a professional opportunity (such as an internship, job interview, conference, or related experience).

Students may receive $300–$700 in reimbursement to help cover the cost of professional clothing.

Note: Some scholarship programs may require students to submit additional documentation. Be sure to follow any instructions specific to your program when applying.
