We call it Fashion for a Future.
How Donated Clothes become a ThreadED Scholarship
Here's one example of how ThreadED funded a Last Dollar Scholarship last year. In partnership with Boston-based uAspire, these modest scholarships range from $1,500-2,000 and help to fill the difficult gap between the financial aid package the college student receives and the total cost of attendance for the year. The terrific items came from five different donors. Together, just six pieces created a meaningful source of support for a Boston area student .
