Check back for the winner.
The winner of the 2025 Autism Scholarship will receive a $5,000 grant and John’s Crazy Socks will create their original sock design to sell in our online store! The winner will also receive a box of their own designed socks.
A first runner-up will receive a $2,500 scholarship and a second runner-up will receive a $1,000 scholarship. All winners must use their scholarships toward their education.
Grants are sponsored by John’s Crazy Socks, the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation, and Rangam. A portion of the proceeds of the sale of the winning sock will be used to fund the scholarship next year.
"The sock design I created represents a message that anyone of any race and disability can reach for the stars (which is also a symbol for their goals).”
"My sock design was inspired by the mission statement of John's Crazy Socks and the approaching summertime. I wanted to make something fun, bright, and funny that would make people smile."
"I am a member of Quiz Bowl and Mock Trial and both activities let me use my love for facts, history and law."
"I am a college student, lover of animals, the outdoors, and yoga, a proud autistic woman, and a passionate disability activist and advocate."
"I based this sock design on Chinese New Year."
"The inspiration for this sock design came from a story about Time Traveler, John Titor, and how he traveled back to 1975 to retrieve an IBM 5100 computer."
