The Dr. Yashica Robinson Student Midwife Fund is an initiative dedicated to supporting Black student midwives in Alabama. The fund is named in honor of Dr. Robinson, one of the founding board members of our organization. Dr. Robinson’s work in our community is an incredible example of what care looks like when providers prioritize the dignity and autonomy of their patients. Through this fund, we honor her dedication to the education of future reproductive care providers.

Through the Dr. Yashica Robinson Student Midwife Fund, we are offering scholarships and grants to Black students who are pursuing careers in midwifery. Our goal is to provide financial assistance and create a supportive community to empower Black student midwives to become leaders in their field. We believe that investing in education is crucial to addressing the shortage of midwives in the state, particularly in underserved communities where Black families face higher rates of maternal and infant mortality. Black midwives have unique insights into the needs of their communities, and we trust them to use their skills and knowledge to make a positive impact.

To apply for the Dr. Yashica Robinson Student Midwife Fund, you must be a Black student pursuing a degree or certification in midwifery in Alabama, or with the intention to return to Alabama. Applications can apply for funding once per year.
