Lifting Education for Equity Fund
This new scholarship fund will help support students who identify as Black, Indigenous, or as People of Color (BIPOC) in their journey to becoming a midwife. We know that one way to help provide safe and satisfying midwifery care includes helping build a workforce that represents the community in which the midwife will serve. We will announce the availability of the scholarship in late 2021/2022 and are actively seeking community members to help plan and review the application process.
