DHL Express Fashion Export Scholarship OPEN NOW!




Makers of fashion: it is that time of year when entries for the DHL Express Fashion Export Scholarship in partnership with FINZ open. If your label has been exporting for less than four years, you are based in New Zealand and you hold at least one active export account then you MUST enter!

In a slight change of direction this year, the scholarship is open to etailers as well as their bricks and mortar competition. Did you hear that? Yeow! 
Megan Wildermoth, national strategic account manager (fashion and textiles) at DHL Express, says, “Online retailing has become a powerful channel to market, particularly for the fashion industry.
 “For the last five years of the scholarship we’ve seen the proliferation of entrants who are embracing the online environment and we want the scholarship to reflect the changing shape of the fashion export industry,” adds Megan Wildermoth.
The winner of the scholarship will receive international freight to the value of NZ$10,000, as well as coaching in freight and logistics from DHL Express. All three finalists will receive individual export mentoring and an annual membership subscription from Fashion Industry New Zealand (FINZ).  
Check out all of the details over on the FINZ website and download the official entry form.
Entries close on Monday 29 October.
