Stories


From Sara, mama to Melissa and Jessica:

“Without this scholarship, I would have missed my girls more and they would have missed me.”

From Joharah

“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!”

From Tiffany, mama to Amir

“This scholarship means the world to me and Amir. We both love learning and this financial assistance definitely facilitates that! I honestly don’t know if I’d still be on this path if it weren’t for this help from the Foundation. Thank you so much!”

Building future leaders
