Tuition Support
Midwife International does not currently offer scholarships, grants, loans or other financial aid. Because our educational programs are service-based, we encourage students to engage friends, family and community in support of training midwives and improving maternal/infant health in undeserved regions. If you don’t have the money to pay tuition and expenses, raise it! Though we do not offer scholarships at this time, our team can help you reach your goals by providing fundraising materials (presentations, samples letters, etc) and strategy ideas.
