🎓 Congratulations to this year's Holt Adoptee Scholarship winners, Lily Macaluso, Abigail Perissi and Haley Havens! 🎉 Each year, Holt awards scholarships to adoptees graduating high school and pursuing higher education. This year’s prompt: “What’s one thing you wish your family, friends or society knew about the adoptee experience?” This year, we announced an additional $1,000 scholarship to be awarded to an adoptee pursuing their dream career in a traditionally underfunded field of study. The Hope Scholarship is generously sponsored by Holt adoptee Mareyuna, who followed her dreams to become a veterinarian, and Mareyuna’s family. Big congrats to our first Hope Scholarship winner, Haley Havens, who’s studying advanced human development and family sciences!
