The University of West Florida is partnering with JCPenney to participate in the Suit Up program, a national initiative designed to assist students in building a professional wardrobe for job/graduate school interviews and future employment.
Event Information:
When: Sunday, February 5, 2023 (5 p.m. - 8 p.m.)
Where: jcpenney.com/m/suit-up
Discount: 30% off professional wear (in addition to sale prices!)
Financial Assistance:
At UWF, more than 65 percent of students demonstrate the need for financial assistance. The average cost of a business suit is more than $200 which is unaffordable to many students. Through fundraising efforts and generous donations, the Office of Career Development and Community Engagement will award financial assistance to current students and recent alumni (graduated in 2021 or 2022) who demonstrate a need that aligns with the mission of the program.
Please visit uwf.edu/suitup for more information on the financial assistance application process and a chance to be awarded!
