Fashion Designer and Humanitarian William Malcolm believes that Style means nothing without Substance. This is why he established the William Malcolm Man of Style & Substance Scholarship Contest. The goal of this annual competition is to highlight and encourage young men from Michigan (High School Seniors) to become an active participant in the betterment of their state through volunteerism and community involvement.
William Malcolm Luxe Collection is seeking young men that are compassionate about their community and the way that they are perceived in it. These young men will understand that the world is waiting on them to cultivate their talents and abilities to make it a better world for us all.
They will also realize the importance of seeking direction, guidance and mentoring from successful men that have come before them. So that they can, when ready take all that they have learned and become a mentor to many themselves.
These young men will understand that true symbols of manhood are not necessarily found in music videos or on athletic fields. They will know or learn that a true man, a man of style and substance is defined by how he responds to the successes and adversities that life can bring. These young men will be willing to learn that successful men are defined by how they honor their responsibilities, respect women and care for their families and the communities in which they live.
