BLACK MIDWIFERY SCHOLARSHIP

Black Midwifery Scholarship

A primary goal of NAABB is to equip Black midwives with the practical tools and education they need to improve outcomes for Black women and birthing people.

To achieve this goal we created the Black Midwifery Scholarship program. Under this program, we aim to support Black midwifery students who plan to provide culturally concordant care to Black communities. We are committed to assisting in the removal of financial and associated barriers to midwifery education.
