Scholarship Fund
The Scholarship Fund will reimburse an adoptive family for specific in-country
(Russian or Mongolian) expenses incurred by the orphan. All reimbursable
expenses must directly serve the orphan. The BRAFF Executive Committee will
determine on a year-to-year basis the maximum scholarship money available
per orphan. At anytime in the adoptive process, an adoptive family may submit a
letter of inquiry to the BRAFF Executive Committee. The letter must detail the
family’s reason for seeking financial assistance (multiple adoptions, medical
expenses, limited resources), why this orphan is difficult to place (medical
condition or age constraint, older than 5 years), how the family will or has
supported BRAFF (participate and promote BRAFF) and the approximate
adoption time line (including anticipated dates of travel).
The Executive Committee will review letters of inquiry and award scholarships
within four weeks of receiving a request. Within 8 weeks of finalization of
adoption (return to U.S.), the adoptive family must submit to BRAFF detailed
receipts for reimbursable expenses. Expenses may include doctor visits, plane
fares and embassy expenses for the orphan(s). Questions? Contact BRAFF
