“I struggle to raise my child on one income while being in school full-time and working part-time. The scholarship has helped me pay for childcare and allowed me to spend more time with my child instead of working extra hours to make ends meet.”

Thank you very much for granting me the childcare tuition scholarship! This will help my two-year-old daughter Luna and I go very far this year. Without the bills of childcare that I would normally be receiving this year, I will in turn be able to focus more on spending quality time with Luna and on my education. This scholarship will not only benefit us this year, but in years to come because it will provide me with less of a need for taking out college tuition loans that I would have had to pay off in the future, helping me to focus on the growth of my family and career. Once again, thank you for the help, my appreciation goes beyond words.”

“Being a mother of a young child and pursuing these intense coursework, does require an immense amount of effort, time and energy. I got the support through the Myrtle Bahm Scholarship, without which probably my coming this far towards my education goal would not have been possible, due to financial restraints and demanding course work. I want to thank the perinatal Foundation for supporting parents like me for reaching our goals towards pursuing an education and making lives better for generations to come!”
