Adoptee Scholarship
Adopted youth come from all different backgrounds, such as foster care, direct adoptions at birth, and more.
Regardless of the guardian or family a child is adopted by, they may face struggles throughout life such as trauma from previous living situations, limited financial resources, etc. In order to build a better future, it’s critical that adoptees have all of the resources and encouragement they need to attain their degrees.
This scholarship seeks to support adoptees as they prepare to pursue higher education so they have all of the resources necessary to achieve their goals.
Any adopted student who is an undergraduate in a two or four-year program may apply for this scholarship, but students of Eastern European descent are preferred.
To apply, tell us about yourself, how being adopted has impacted your life, and what you’ve done to support the adoption community.
Please tell us a bit about yourself and how adoption has impacted your life and what you have done to support the adoption community. You can consider how finding out about your adoption impacted you at that moment, how you react when people ask you about your adoption and biological family, if you have attempted to contact your biological family, etc.
