Are there any college scholarships available to kids who were adopted?
Question:
Answer:
There are a lot of scholarships available. I suggest going to Google and conducting a search from there. I actually won a $5,000 scholarship about a year ago, and I recently found another contest by the same company for a $10,000 scholarship. It's free to enter, so there's no reason not to.

Good Luck!
It makes no difference wether you're adopted or not.
I believe so, I'm not sure what exactly. If you're looking for a good place to look for scholarships try going to www.fastweb.com and creating a profile. They find scholarships for you based on what you've done in highschool, your major, everything.
