Additionally, the recipients will participate in an immersive experience at the Cactus Jack Design Center in Houston.

“By dismantling barriers, igniting imaginations and unlocking the potential of aspiring creatives, the Cactus Jack Design Ethos program offers more than just an education — it extends an invitation to dream, create and leave an indelible mark on the world,” Scott said. “I’m excited that the FSF’s aspiring talent are able to take this unique journey through the realms of fashion, design and music.”

According to the FSF, Scott’s program “aims to immerse students in the world that shaped Travis Scott’s artistic and innovative journey and the groundbreaking Cactus Jack brand.”

“The FSF’s mission is to provide our community of young talent with an array of mentors, career development and educational opportunities,” said Peter Arnold, executive director of the Fashion Scholarship Fund. “We are pleased to continue our partnership with the Cactus Jack Foundation, and to offer our network of alumni, current scholars and scholar applicants access to its incredible creative and design resources.”

Scott first teamed with the FSF last year when three scholars from the fund’s class of 2024 were awarded $10,000 as Cactus Jack Design Ethos Scholars during the FSF’s annual spring event. Three more students were awarded with the scholarship this year from the class of 2025.
