FOR the first time, popular fashion retailer, ZALORA is offering Malaysian youths a chance to win its inaugural merit-based scholarship, which entail a partial grant for tuition fees worth RM5,500 and internship with the ZALORA offices in 2016.
Open to students from tertiary institutions that fall under the company's partner institutions in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, one student from each of these countries will be awarded the scholarship.
Michele Ferrario, managing director of the ZALORA Group said, “We believe that this scholarship is an excellent initiative to attract and nurture passionate young individuals in the area where e-commerce meets fashion. Contrary to what many may think, fashion is not just another art form. There’s always the scientific aspect behind fashion and design, and especially so for ZALORA as an online fashion retailer because we live and breathe digital. It’s our hope that these young bright minds will appreciate that.”
Applicants are invited to interpret this year's theme, “The Science of Fashion” using creative means. For applicants in Malaysia, entries in Malay, English and Mandarin are welcomed. Entries can be submitted via www.zalora.com.my/scholarship before 11PM (GMT +8), 16 October 2015.
