Any student who is facing financial hardship can apply for multiple Fiber classes to be covered. The Fiber, Fashion, and Textile Department has a Friends of Fiber fund that alumni, friends of the department, and department faculty have donated to this fund to support our students. This is an unequivocal commitment from the department to help subsidize the cost of materials it takes to learn techniques related to our major, and we want to be clear and transparent regarding our current capacity.
