Application for Tuition Assistance

Application for Tuition Assistance
Thank you for choosing the Community Doula Training Program at Community Doula Alliance as your trusted partner in your professional development journey as a doula.

We know that pursuing a career as a doula is both a personal and financial commitment. Our mission is to support passionate individuals who are dedicated to making a positive impact in their communities through doula work. Because we also recognize that tuition and related expenses can be a barrier, we are committed to offering financial assistance to those who need it.

Please note: Tuition support applies only to the $1,400 training fee. Each student is responsible for a $100 non-refundable enrollment fee, which is not covered by tuition assistance. We’ve found that this financial investment strengthens commitment and adds value to the training experience. Any additional costs for professional development pathways—such as the Bridge Mentorship or Diverse Doula Program Membership—remain the responsibility of the individual student.

We encourage you to complete this application by sharing your journey, aspirations, and the unique contributions you hope to bring to doula work. We look forward to learning more about you and supporting your path to becoming a skilled, compassionate doula.

Thank you again for investing your time, energy, and passion with Community Doula Alliance.

*Remember to also submit an Application for Enrollment. Both are required if you are applying for tuition support and enrollment.
