You and your parents should check with the state in which you were adopted, sometimes the adopting agency offers help them selves. You could also google scholarships for adoptive children. Depending on how much income you and your parents have you may be eligible for states grants.You don't necessarily have to get a grant for being adopted.

The financial aid office at your College can help you find local and specific scholarships. An internet search will show web sites that describe scholarships specifically for adopted children. Search also for scholarships related to your ethnic group, your financial status, and your chosen career path. Some states have scholarships for children adopted through foster care or special programs.

Contact the college and ask for their financial aid department. Many colleges also have search able databases of scholarships and grants. There are scholarships and grants for foster children, though those may not be available to you if you were adopted by your foster parents. Also contact any civic organization you volunteer with or your religious community for scholarships.
