FDM Students Earn Kalo Grants to Grow Their Emerging Ventures

The Kalo Grant program continues to support Fashion Design & Merchandising students as they transform their ideas into impactful ventures. This semester, two FDM majors were awarded $500 in seed funding for their business concepts. Amelie Berg is developing Well Within, a platform designed to strengthen community connection through locally led classes, services, and wellness-focused experiences. Skylar Conley is building Da Rack, a mobile shop that delivers a curated blend of locally made art, vintage finds, and secondhand clothing. Through Kalo Grants, FDM students gain the early resources and encouragement needed to bring their entrepreneurial visions to life. For additional details, please refer to the UH News article.
