“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!”

“I would like to express my gratitude for your support of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Nursing Program, and for awarding a nursing student the Myrtle Bahm Leonard Scholarship. Deciding to continue my education and taking on the financial stress of obtaining my Doctorate in Nursing were huge decisions. I cannot thank you enough for the support you have provided me in lightening the financial obligations through your generous scholarship to assist with daycare expenses…I am finally on my way to fulfilling my career goal that I had started over ten years ago; what an amazing feeling. Thank you again for the generous scholarship. Thank you for believing in nurses, and an upcoming nurse practitioner. My family and I are so very thankful.”

“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!”
