JCPenney Suit Up Grant Application

Confidence is key when it comes to building your career, and having professional attire can help build that confidence. But for many students, finances can be a barrier. This grant provides students with the opportunity to purchase professional attire they look and feel good in.  

  • Selected students will be provided with either a $100 or $200 gift card to use on professional clothing from JCPenney
  • The grant can be used in-person or online
  • Students who have received the grant in the past may apply one year after their initial awarding (i.e. Fall 2023 recipients cannot apply again until Fall 2024).

 

Spring 2024 Application Periods:

  • February 5 – February 19
  • April 1 – April 15
