THE CUSTOMIZED GIRL ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP

The 2023 Scholarship Contest is now open.

2022 was our 10th year giving out this scholarship! It has continued to evolve. In 2023 we are awarding two winners. $500 each. We're asking you to post your "statement for the world" on Instagram. See more below.

ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIP

Custom Shirts with Colorful Logos

Why did we launch a scholarship?

We started out selling custom t-shirts, but we've evolved into a community of statement makers. It is empowering to make a custom shirt and to wear that statement across your chest. Launching a scholarship is the next step in empowering a new generation.

Custom Pink Raglan Tees

What can you win?

Two winners will win $500 each.

Custom Black T-Shirts

Important dates?

All entries are due by Dec 31, 2023. The winner will be announced by January 31, 2024.

We do this every year, so even if you don't win, you can come back again. (Unless you graduated, in which case... congratulations, graduate!)

HOW TO ENTER

Custom Performance Tanks

1. Write a very short statement.

We want to hear your original and unique statement. One that you want to share with the world. What would you wear on your chest? It doesn't have to be serious. In fact, silly might be better.

Custom Neon Crop Tanks

2. Fill out a form.

Fill out this short form powered by Google Forms. Include your statement.

Custom Racerback Jersey Tanks

3. Post on Instagram & follow us.

Caption one of your Instagram posts with your statement.

SCHOLARSHIP FAQs

Who is eligible to apply?

Anyone living in the United States or Canada that are currently enrolled in or applying to higher education programs. Read below for more information!

How is the scholarship judged?

We have a panel of unbiased judges selecting the winner. The judges are looking for a statement that is interesting, fun, and clever. Just make your statement. Be original. Be unique. You'll do great.

Is this only for girls?

Not anymore. It used to be. We are Customized Girl after all. But we decided to open it up to everyone.

Can I apply as a high school student, grad student, etc?

Here's how we see it: if you're paying for your education (or will be paying for it in the immediate future), then this scholarship is for you. High school students should have plans to attend or apply to colleges.

The form has fields for the name of your college and your major. If you're not completely sure yet, just say "Not totally sure, but I plan to..." and give us an idea of your plans.

How many times can I submit an entry?

Applicants are allowed one entry per person. Submitting additional entries will not increase your chances of being selected.

I don't use Instagram and for a variety of reasons, I cannot create an account. What do I do?

You can still apply. In the scholarship form, include a note about not using Instagram.

What if I have more questions?

Email us and include "Scholarship" in the subject line: CGstores@eretailing.com

Hopefully, we've answered all your questions on this page. If you're still not sure about something, our best advice is this: fill out the scholarship form, and feel free to include any questions or concerns in the form itself.
