Bulkthreads.com Scholarships: Investing in Students
Bulkthreads.com Scholarships
Two annual awards | $500 each | Open to all students | Now accepting 2027 applications
At Bulkthreads.com, we sell wholesale blank apparel — but we also believe that the best investment we can make is in people. A lot of us here have backgrounds in education. We've been teachers, married teachers, and gone to school ourselves. So when we started this business, we decided early on that giving back to students wasn't optional — it was the point.
That's why we award two annual scholarships of $500 each, open to any student — any age, any major, any background — who has a story worth telling and a future worth investing in. No purchase necessary. No GPA cutoff. Just you and your goals.
📅 Next deadline: June 29, 2027
The "Let's Aim Higher" Scholarship is open now and closes June 29, 2027, with the winner announced July 30, 2027. The "Believe in Yourself!" Scholarship is between cycles right now — check back for the 2027 application window. Apply early. We read every submission.

The more wholesale apparel we sell, the more we work with schools — coaches ordering team jerseys, teachers buying class shirts, PTAs putting together spirit wear. Some of us have worked in education ourselves. And we've all sat in classrooms that changed the direction of our lives.
We believe that success is a communal effort — and that companies have a responsibility to invest in the communities they serve. For us, that means more than just fast shipping and good prices. It means showing up for students, educators, and the people working hard to build something better.
Beyond scholarships, we support schools through:
- Competitive pricing on bulk apparel and custom print jobs for schools, teams, and nonprofits
- Fast tax-exemption processing for qualifying educational organizations — submit your form here
- Donated apparel for worthy causes — if you're a teacher, coach, or admin with a need, reach out and tell us your story
