Scholarships for Moms to Help Further Your Education

Lifetime Adoption Foundation offers educational scholarships for moms who have chosen adoption for their babies. This is because Lifetime Adoption is dedicated to helping you through all steps of the adoption process, and that includes supporting you post-adoption. We also offer counseling from an independent counselor and peer counseling, no matter where you’re at in your adoption plan. Your adoption story just doesn’t end after you leave the hospital or when the adoption is final.
 
The Lifetime Adoption Foundation is a non-profit organization that awards scholarships for moms and more specifically – educational assistance to women who have lovingly chosen adoption for their children. Please keep reading to learn how it can help you begin a new chapter in your life!
 

How Scholarships for Moms Help Women After Choosing Adoption for Their Babies

Over the years, the Foundation has provided more than 250 scholarships to birth parents like you. The non-profit offers educational scholarships in deep appreciation to birth mothers who have chosen adoption for their children. They have enabled others to experience the joy of becoming parents and created futures for those families and their children for a lifetime.
 
The majority of the scholarship recipients made an adoption plan for their newborn babies. Now, they get updates on their child through visits, photos, video chats, phone calls, and social media from the adoptive family they chose. Many scholarship recipients use their awarded funds to pay for books, put toward their tuition, and help them afford the general costs of higher education.
 
Says Hannah*, who became pregnant in 2017 and graduated less than two years after her daughter’s adoption “Placing a baby for adoption changed me in a lot of ways. It gave me goals, and above all, it gave me hope. I wouldn’t have been able to be where I am at today if it wasn’t for my daughter and her family.” Today, she’s enrolled in a Master of Public Administration program to pursue her career goals.
 
And another scholarship recipient, Amanda, shares, “My education is important to me to achieve my goals further and continue thriving. Receiving this scholarship positively impacted my life because it helped me focus more on my goals, family, studies, and volunteer work and less on my finances. It is scholarships like these that help me and encourage me to continue my journey.”
 
“I really wanted to thank you for the support that you provided me throughout my college years! Thank you for the scholarships, as well as providing me the opportunity to find a wonderful family for our daughter at such a young age! The support has led to the graduation I have earned! I will be walking in the ceremony this May, getting my B.A. in Political Science,” says Olivia.
