We have filled all of our scholarship openings for 2025. We will begin accepting scholarship applications in June 2025 for openings in 2026.

We recognize that historical systems of oppression have denied access to vital maternity care and support to certain individuals. This has caused worse outcomes for those birthing parents and their babies.

We believe that one way to foster change is to invest in those who are best positioned to provide the culturally-relevant services (in this case, therapeutic bodywork during the perinatal period and infancy) to those whose lives are unfairly jeopardized due to past and present inequities.

In this spirit, we will make full scholarships available each year to applicants who are BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color).

Scholarships are granted to those who demonstrate the ability to address racial and social justice in their work as CST practitioners. Scholarships cover the workshop fees only. They do not cover books, materials, lodging, meals, or transportation, which must be covered by the participant. These are not work-study scholarships. The scholarship is a gift from Carol Gray for the benefit of under-served communities.
