Heartland Dental donated $11,550 to the Blackhawk Technical College Foundation to create the scholarship.
One student enrolled in the college’s dental hygiene program will be awarded $500 each year as part of the scholarship program.
Blackhawk Technical College launched its dental hygiene program in 2022 in response to oral healthcare workforce shortages. The college also entered a partnership with Heartland Dental that allows students to shadow hygienists for a day. Additionally, Heartland Dental team members visit the college to provide career development services such as mock interviews and resume-building seminars to graduating hygiene students.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place November 12–14 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
