Students on the Autism Spectrum:
We believe in you. We want to show the world what you can do. We invite you to apply for the Autism Can Do Scholarship.
It is easy: fill out the simple application and design a pair of socks. You do not have to be a designer,
just let your creativity out.
The Autism Can Do Scholarship is sponsored by John’s Crazy Sock and the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism.
The scholarship is open to anyone who meets these criteria:
You are on the autism spectrum.
You live in the United States or Canada.
You will attend a college, university, trade school or training program in the fall of 2020.
Applications will be accepted until June 15, 2020. You apply online here at John’s Crazy Socks.
All winners must agree to participate in promoting the scholarship and the sock he or she designs.
Promotions will include participating in social media posts and allowing his or her name and
image to be used in those promotions.
We ask that you submit a brief statement about yourself and what you will do with the scholarship. And we want you to design a pair of socks.
Here is what we are looking for in your design:
Creativity
Fun
Appeals to all genders and ages.
On top of winning the scholarship, John's Crazy Socks will produce the winning sock design, then carry the sock in their online store, with a portion of the proceeds going to the John's Crazy Socks Scholarship Fund. The winner's name will be included in the information on the sock.
