Dress to Impress Program

While the university is closed, application review will be delayed. Any applications submitted between December 19, 2025, and January 2, 2026, will be reviewed starting Monday, January 5, 2026.

The Dress to Impress (D2I) Program Fund provides current William & Mary students with financial support to purchase professional attire for career-related activities, including job interviews, graduate/professional school interviews, internship interviews, networking events, and other career-related opportunities.

Approved students can purchase items from the Office of Career Development & Professional Engagement storefront, which contains a curated list of clothing pieces.

For our pilot year, students can receive up to $250.00, based on demonstrated need.

Applications

We recommend that applications are submitted a minimum of three weeks prior to the date needed. The awarding of funding is need based and determined on a rolling basis. There is no guarantee that a submitted application will be granted an award.
