Feeding Our Future Scholarship Application
The San Diego Breastfeeding Center Foundation has identified the need for increased diverse representation of lactation consultants in San Diego County. With very few BIPOC IBCLCs, a large percentage of our local population has limited access to IBCLCs who understand the unique cultural experiences/perspectives that inform their feeding and family decisions.  We also recognize the unique barriers that BIPOC individuals face when obtaining the education and clinical hours to become an IBCLC.  The Feeding our Future scholarship’s mission is to eliminate these barriers for BIPOC individuals who want to pursue their IBCLC, as well as provide an on-going support system so that they may thrive in their new career.

DUE DATE: Scholarship Applications are due by February 18, 2022
Scholarships will be awarded on March 4, 2022.

Applicants can apply for a scholarship to the UCSD Extension Lactation program, as well as for support funds to help pay for prerequisite classes and additional costs associated with becoming an IBCLC.  You will have the opportunity below to select if you are applying for a scholarship and/or support funds.
