Start My Application
We've always believed that the
direction someone is moving matters
as much as where they currently stand.
That belief is why we started this program — a small
gesture for everyone working hard to move forward.
Four simple steps
Fill in a short form
Tell us your name, email and school, and confirm you're 13–18 and in a California middle or high school. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian should know you're applying.
Upload your transcript(s)
Submit your most recent semester's official transcript. If it already lists your previous semester too, you're all set — if not, add last semester's transcript so we can also consider you for the Growth Award.
We look at growth, not just grades
Our customer care team reviews your transcript on a trust basis — an honest transcript is all we need, with no extra proof of your grades.
Get your earrings
If you're approved, we'll email you a $100 gift card within 3 business days. Since our earrings are sold individually, pick any two singles to complete your pair — mix and match if you like — apply the gift card at checkout, and place your order. Limited to the first 50 approved students each month.
Prove it either way — the reward is the same
Pick Your Own Pair — On Us
Your grades improved noticeably from last semester — wherever you started, we value that upward step more than any score.
Your core subject average this semester is 90 or above (or A / A-) — staying excellent deserves recognition too.
Either path qualifies you for the same reward: a $100 gift card to pick any two single earrings and complete your pair, on us. Limited to the first 50 qualifying students each month, while spots last.
Low barrier — we choose to trust you
- Age & GradeOpen to students ages 13–18 who are currently enrolled in middle school or high school in California, USA (college students, including 18-year-old freshmen, are not eligible). You'll confirm this with a checkbox on the form. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian should know you're applying.
- TranscriptYour most recent semester's official transcript issued by your school (mid-term or in-progress grades aren't accepted). To be considered for the Growth Award, your transcript should also show the previous semester — if it doesn't, submit that one too.
- FrequencyEach student may take part once per year.
- ReviewOur customer care team reviews your transcript by hand on a trust basis, with no further proof needed — though we reserve the right to verify and revoke eligibility.
- RewardIf approved, you'll receive a $100 gift card by email. Since our earrings are sold individually, pick any two singles to complete your pair (mix and match welcome) and apply the card at checkout. Limited to the first 50 qualifying students each month, first come, first served.
- Data UseYour transcript is used only for this eligibility review and deleted within 30 days of our decision. To keep this reward to one per student each year, we keep your name, school, email and request date for 12 months, then delete them. Your redemption order is handled like any regular purchase.
🔒 How we handle your information
- We use your transcript only to confirm your eligibility for this reward. Only our customer care team can view it.
- We never sell it or use it for marketing, and we delete your transcript within 30 days of our decision.
- To keep this reward to one per student each year, we keep your name, school, email and the date of your request for 12 months, then delete them.

A few more things
What do I need to fill in?
Your name, email and school, a checkbox confirming you're 13–18 and in a California middle or high school, and your transcript. If you're under 18, you'll also confirm that a parent or guardian knows you're applying. That's all.
Do I need to submit two transcripts?
Not necessarily. If your official transcript already lists more than one semester, one document is enough. If it only shows your current semester, add your previous semester's transcript too — otherwise we can only review you for the Excellence Award, not the Growth Award.
I'm not studying in California — can I join?
Not yet. This program is currently open only to students in California. If we expand to other regions, we'll let everyone know first.
Can I submit a digital transcript?
Yes. As long as it's officially issued by your school and clearly shows the school name and your grades, a digital copy works. You may cover your ID number, date of birth and address, but please keep your name, school and semester visible.
My grades weren't great this semester — do I still have a chance?
Of course. If you don't qualify this time, treat this transcript as a starting point — we're more interested in seeing where you go from here.
How do I get my earrings?
Within 3 business days of submitting, we'll email you the review result. If you're approved, you'll get a $100 gift card — pick any two single earrings to complete your pair (mix and match welcome) and apply it at checkout.
What if this month's 50 spots are already taken?
Spots reset at the start of each month. You're welcome to apply again next month with your most recent transcript, as long as you haven't already used your one redemption for the year.
How many times can I participate per year?
Each student can participate once per year — we'd love to see you again after next year's grades are out.
