We believe it is our duty to sponsor and support young women who lack access to the financial resources necessary to compete in today’s marketplace and thus expand the pipeline of professional women from diverse backgrounds. To do that, we have created the Sierra E SuitKits for Scholars Program, which awards students free business professional suits from SuitKits.
My name is Sloan Talbot and I am a first-generation college student at Duke University from Ypsilanti, Michigan.
I applied for the SuitKits for Scholars Program because as a woman with curves, trying to find clothes to fit is a struggle and whenever I am put in situations where there is a need to “dress the part” I feel a high sense of anxiety. As a low-income student whose family experienced homelessness and has had to live paycheck to paycheck at times, a large expense like business clothing is difficult if not impossible to justify.
Because of my background I am interested in working to advocate and uplift marginalized and underrepresented populations within the United States, focusing on areas of homelessness and poverty as well as refugee resettlement and integration. I also want to help other low-income and first generation students attend universities so that they can enjoy the wonderful opportunities that I’ve been given while at Duke.
Sloan is looking to explore careers within public interest law/policy for governmental, non-profit or for profit organizations in D.C., ATL, Chicago, NY, SF, Charlotte, Houston, or Austin when she graduates in the summer of 2019. If you are aware of any opportunities for Sloan, please contact us at we.are.listening@suitkits.com.
PURCHASE SUITKITS
A portion of the proceeds from every SuitKits purchase is used to fund the SuitKits for Scholars Program. Every time you wear our suits, you’ve helped another woman in need.
SPREAD THE WORD
If you know a young woman who is: (a) 25 years of age or younger and enrolled at a high school, college, or university within the United States; and (b) comes from a disadvantaged, low-income or at-risk environment with limited financial resources; please have them complete our application below for a chance to win a free business professional suit from SuitKits.
Our corporate sponsors believe that there should be a pipeline of diverse, professional women in their organizations no matter what their financial resources. If you belong to a corporation interested in helping us expand this program, please contact us below.
