About our Scholarships

The Uma Center believes that all women should have access to resources that will help them have a positive, empowering and healthy perinatal experience. The Uma Center Scholarship Fund was established to improve access to childbirth education classes and birth doulas among families with financial need in Moscow, Pullman and surrounding communities (including the Lewiston-Clarkston valley).

How it Works

  • Expectant parents may apply for a scholarship intended for childbirth education classes or birth doula services.
  • Depending on availability of funds we hope to provide one or more scholarships each month to qualified applicants.
  • Scholarship recipients will receive a voucher to be redeemed with the specified service provider.
