Adopted Students Scholarship
For National Adoption Day, we’re celebrating our adopted Bold.org members!
While nearly 150,000 children are adopted in the United States each year, our media and culture rarely talks about this important group of people.
To help support awareness about and opportunities for adoptees, Bold.org has created the Adopted Student Scholarship. The scholarship exists to amplify the stories of individuals who have been adopted and to provide more equal access to opportunities in education.
To apply for the scholarship, you will need to write a short essay about your experience as an adoptee, the challenges you have faced, and how these challenges have shaped your worldview.
The scholarship will be awarded on November 23rd, the Monday following National Adoption Day (November 21st).
Bold.org will be awarding a scholarship each day in November to celebrate National Scholarship Month. Follow along on Bold.org's Instagram and TikTok for daily announcements of scholarships and winners!
Describe your experience as an adoptee in the United States. What are some of the most significant challenges you have had to face? How do you plan to use this award to further grow as a student and person?

Award checks will be sent to the financial aid office of the winner's academic institution or future academic institution in their name to be applied to their tuition, and in the name of their institution (depending on the school's requirements). If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
Before we award the scholarship, the winner will be required to confirm their academic enrollment status. Depending on the circumstances, verification of Student ID and/or their most recent transcript will be required.
