We are thrilled to announce that the Briana Blackwelder Scholarship application is now open! We’ve extended the deadline, for this application year only, to Tuesday, November 5, 2024 at 5:00 pm MT.

MCU believes that all individuals who seek midwifery education should be able to access it.  Unfortunately, too often, this is not a reality, and midwifery education, along with the midwifery profession at-large, suffers without diverse communities and representation.  We want to continue to be the change we wish to see in the midwifery community; therefore, we have created an initiative to advance social justice, anti-racism, anti-oppression and equity efforts within our college and the midwifery profession at large.

Full scholarships are open to any matriculated student who has successfully completed at least two trimesters with a minimum average of 6 completed credits per trimester for the last two trimesters. Single term scholarships are also open to both new and current students. More information about eligibility requirements and the application process can be found at https://www.midwifery.edu/diversity-scholarship-fund/
