The path to a midwifery education is not a linear one for many of us & it can take months to years before we are ready to apply to a midwifery education program of choice.
If you have your eyes on pursuing a midwifery education, but are not quite at that stage in your timeline, keep going!
We are rooting for you!!!
We see you and this scholarship opportunity is for you.
