Holt Adoptee Scholarship Contest
Adoptees can enter for the opportunity to be awarded $500 towards an educational pursuit!
Every year, adoptees submit work based around a question or theme relating to the adoptee experience. We encourage applicants to interpret the prompt creatively — whether through a self-portrait, an essay, digital art, a zine, a song, original choreography, poetry or a short film (or anything else you might come up with!).
This opportunity is open to any adoptee (domestic or international, adopted through any agency) who is a high school graduate planning to enroll — or a student currently enrolled — in a higher education program (i.e., a university, trade school, technical training program or other eligible educational pursuit).
We are no longer accepting submissions for the 2023 Adoptee Scholarship contest. Winners will be announced soon!
