Award Amount: $2,500
Information And Eligibility:
The Fellowship for Graduate Education Scholarship, offered by the A.C.N.M. Foundation, provides financial support to Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) and Certified Midwives (CMs) who are pursuing advanced, practice-oriented doctoral or post-doctoral education. This scholarship is designed to support midwives who are committed to expanding their clinical expertise, leadership capacity, and professional impact through continued education.
This fellowship focuses specifically on practice-oriented doctoral pathways, including degrees such as the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), Doctor of Midwifery (DM), Doctor of Public Health (DrPH), and other comparable programs. By supporting advanced education, the A.C.N.M. Foundation helps midwives strengthen their ability to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care, improve maternal and newborn health outcomes, and contribute meaningfully to health systems and communities.
Recipients of this scholarship are typically midwives who demonstrate a strong commitment to professional growth and the advancement of midwifery practice. Applicants should be actively enrolled in, or preparing to enroll in, a qualifying doctoral or post-doctoral program that emphasizes clinical practice, leadership, or systems-level improvement. The scholarship supports educational expenses and helps reduce financial barriers that may otherwise limit access to advanced training.
The Fellowship for Graduate Education Scholarship reflects the A.C.N.M. Foundation’s broader mission to invest in the future of midwifery by supporting clinicians who will serve as leaders, educators, and innovators within the profession. Graduates of practice-focused doctoral programs often play a vital role in shaping clinical standards, mentoring future midwives, advancing quality improvement initiatives, and influencing healthcare delivery at local, regional, and national levels.
This scholarship is particularly well suited for midwives seeking to expand their influence beyond direct patient care, including those interested in clinical leadership roles, program development, policy engagement, academic teaching, or organizational leadership. By fostering advanced education, the fellowship helps ensure that midwives are well-equipped to address evolving healthcare challenges and advocate effectively for the populations they serve.
Through this investment, the A.C.N.M. Foundation supports a pipeline of highly trained midwifery professionals who are prepared to lead with expertise, compassion, and innovation. The Fellowship for Graduate Education Scholarship underscores the importance of lifelong learning and advanced clinical education in sustaining a strong, resilient midwifery workforce.
