Marty’s Light: The Marty Staff Scholarship Fund
Marty Staff was known for having the rare ability to see someone’s brilliance and potential. Marty generously extended himself to others and helped many “spark their light” and find their path. He built not only brands and companies but also careers — forever changing the fashion industry. And he wanted to see the next generation realize their dreams and aspirations.
The Fashion Scholarship Fund is partnering with Marty’s wife, Robin, and his industry colleagues and friends, to create Marty’s Light: The Marty Staff Scholarship Fund, a scholarship fund honoring Marty’s legacy. Marty's Light: The Marty Staff Scholarship Fund will invest in vibrant, talented college students who aspire to careers in the fashion industry, extending Marty's impact for generations to come.
Through Marty’s Light: The Marty Staff Scholarship Fund, one exceptional young adult each year will be named the recipient of a college scholarship award of at least $7,500 accompanied by ongoing industry mentorship and career development support through the Fashion Scholarship Fund.
Please join us as a Founding Member of Marty’s Light: The Marty Staff Scholarship Fund with a tax-deductible contribution of $500 or more. Your gift will enable us to carry forward Marty’s name — and light.
For information on becoming a Sustaining Partner of the Fund (with a gift of $15,000+), contact development@fashionscholarshipfund.org
