Delta Dental Foundation, an affiliate of Delta Dental of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and North Carolina, established a $25,000 Diversity Dental Student Scholarship for individuals from systemically disadvantaged backgrounds. Evidence suggests patients of color receive better care from providers who look like them, but fewer than 10% of dentists are Black, Hispanic, or Indigenous. The first recipient from the Indiana University School of Dentistry is Rachel Boler, a first-generation college graduate. Additionally, Delta Dental Foundation contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to regional and national programs, including Penn Dental Medicine.
