American Adoptions has a scholarship for pregnant mothers who are giving their child up for adoption. Every birth mother who goes through the process with American Adoptions is given a scholarship application, and the scholarship committee meets twice a year. The number of scholarships awarded and the amount depends on the number of applicants and the amount of the tuition. Each year, the deadline for the spring semester applications is April 1 and the fall semester deadline is Aug. 1.
Scholarship recipients are eligible for up to eight semesters, must maintain at least a 2.5 grade point average and submit a scholarship reapplication form before each semester.
