Resources
Mercy In Action College of Midwifery provides a list of Financial Aid Resources, though this list is not by any means exhaustive. Applying is the student’s own responsibility.
As a private institution Mercy in Action College of Midwifery is not subsidized by the Government, nor are students eligible for Federal Grants or loans at this time. Some students choose to fund their training with the use of private loans. Others qualify through public scholarships.
Financial Aid or Scholarships
There are vast possibilities for scholarship opportunities for college students. Many are very specific, and it is up to each midwifery student to find what might be available to them. Some students report to us that they have discovered local funding options from service clubs or other groups in their own communities. Students can Google community foundations or scholarship providers in their home county to see what local opportunities may exist. Other students tell us they found scholarships based on their own family story, for instance, scholarships for children of railroad workers or dependents of veterans.
We have gathered a listing of just a few scholarships that we were made aware of that might be a fit for our midwifery students, but it is by no means an exhaustive list. For information on select scholarships, please visit our scholarships page
Mercy In Action has a scholarship for students planning to serve communities with the highest maternal and newborn mortality rates in America. For more information, contact info@mercyinaction.edu
