AMS Mentorship Scholarship Fund 

At AMS, we believe that every adoptee should have access to quality mentoring, regardless of financial circumstances. If you are interested in receiving mentorship - for adoptees, by adoptees - and face financial barriers, we invite you to apply for a scholarship.

Who Qualifies For A Scholarship?

We believe adopted people of all ages deserve support from those who understand—without financial barriers. While scholarship availability depends on donations and accessible funds, we prioritize those without access to additional financial support (such as; adoptive parents). We understand that financial circumstances are complex and offer guidance below to help you decide whether to apply.

    • You are not a homeowner

    • You do not hold a postgraduate degree

    • You are disabled, chronically ill, or neurodivergent

    • You are a member of the BIPOC or 2SLGBTQIA+ communities

    • You are a single parent

    • You qualify for public assistance

    • You’ve used credit cards to cover essential needs

    • You lack a financial safety net (e.g., savings or family support)

    • You’ve struggled to afford mental health care

    • You are unemployed or underemployed, not by choice

    • You rarely have disposable income for travel, entertainment, or dining out

  • By donations! The Adoptive Parents 4 Adoptees Fund makes our scholarship possible. Spearheaded by our Board Chair, Alissa Newton, this initiative invites adoptive parents to directly invest in the well-being of adoptees.
