The Center for Lactation Equity (the Center) Announces a New Scholarship for 2025!
The Center works towards strategies that will build an inclusive lactation community that understands, appreciates, and values equity, diversity, and cultural humility. One of the methods through which the Center seeks to do this is through scholarship opportunities for IBCLC candidates who are part of populations that are under-represented in the clinical lactation care community.
