In 2020, the ICCC introduced a new, special event with the goal of expanding their scholarship program offerings to foster more opportunities for students to attend a higher education and experience college to the fullest. The fashion show and luncheon also raised funds towards the creation of a new scholarship program for students currently enrolled at a college or university in the greater Houston area that are participating in a study abroad program in Italy. With the support of the 2020 fashion show, the ICCC was able to help lead students closer to achieving their dreams. 

The 2020 fashion show and luncheon was an event hosted by the ICCC, a 501©(3) non-profit, at the Junior League of Houston. Since 2000, the ICCC has granted over $240,000 in scholarships to college students. Each year, new scholarships are awarded via the several scholarship opportunities the ICCC offers to new students. The organization continues to renew all awards based on grades, up to four years per student.
