Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation Grants

The Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation has awarded $50,000 to the Northwest Technical College Foundation to launch a new Delta Dental Equity and Education Scholarship Program for qualifying students who identify as Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC).

The grant extends through Spring 2024 and a total of $39,000 will be used for scholarship and supportive success dollars. Each year, at least three students will receive Delta Dental Equity and Education Program scholarships of up to $6,500, which includes $4,000 in academic scholarship funds and $2,500 student success funds that can be used for housing, child care or other needs.

Throughout 2022, NTC’s Office of Admissions and American Indian Resource Center staff invites prospective dental assisting students from the area, including Bemidji’s neighboring Indigenous nations — the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and the Red Lake and White Earth nations — to apply for the scholarships.

The Foundation will reserve to establish an endowed Delta Dental Foundation & Partner Fund to extend the scholarship program into the future. The remaining $1,000 will be used for recruitment and marketing efforts.
