DRIVING IN CALIFORNIA
Visitors in California, who are over 18 and have a valid driver license from their home state or country, may drive in this state without getting a California driver license as long as their home state license remains valid. Students who become a California resident must get a California driver license within 10 days. To apply for a driver license (if students are over 18), log on to dmv.ca.gov
FIDM MUSEUM
The FIDM Museum was organized as a nonprofit in 1978 to provide a research facility of garments and visual materials to serve the needs of students, scholars, designers, and the public. Housed within the Los Angeles campus, the 15,000- piece collection represents over 400 years of fashion history, including haute couture and ready-to-wear, world dress, film costumes, accessories,
jewelry, textiles, fragrance packaging, and ephemera.
The Museum Collections are split into two major parts: the Permanent Collection, used for exhibition and research; and the Study Collection, used by students for hands-on inspection and inspiration. The Collections are available by appointment: info@FIDMmuseum.org.
The Museum offers 8,000 square feet of exhibition space. It hosts up to three major exhibitions each year, in addition to smaller installations and conferences. The volunteer FIDM Museum Fashion Council supports acquisitions and educational endeavors through fundraising and outreach.

FIDM SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION & FIDM SCHOLARSHIP STORE
The FIDM Scholarship Foundation Inc. was established in 1978, with the sole purpose of helping students and their families afford a college education. We do that in two ways: first, through store sales at the FIDM Scholarship Store, and second, by providing scholarship listings to students.
The FIDM Scholarship Store is open to the public and sells merchandise donated by top fashion companies. All prices are below wholesale and proceeds from store sales generate scholarships for current FIDM Students.
We also provide information about scholarships from organizations outside
of FIDM. An up-to-date list, including links to applications, can be found at FIDMscholarshipfoundation.org. The site is updated weekly so check back often.
