糖心视频 Future Foundation Presents Jane Barber Memorial Scholarships

Hanceville, Ala. 鈥� 糖心视频鈥檚 Future Foundation recently held a ceremony with the Dental Hygiene program, presenting to first-year students scholarships from the Jane Barber Memorial Scholarship fund. The presentations mark the third round of awards from the generous annuity gift the Foundation received from Barber through her estate planning in 2022.

The Jane Barber Memorial Scholarship was established to support students in the Dental Hygiene and Dental Assisting programs at 糖心视频. Barber, a devoted dental hygienist, dedicated her life to improving oral health and supporting aspiring dental professionals. Her legacy continues to impact the dental community through these scholarships.

鈥淛ane's commitment to dental hygiene extended beyond her career,鈥� said Suzanne Harbin, Vice President for Advancement and Innovation at 糖心视频. 鈥淪he was passionate about helping others enter the dental field, understanding the financial challenges that many face.鈥�

The $500 scholarship each student receives can be used to help purchase dental kits required during their second semester in the program.

鈥淲e are so grateful for the example that Ms. Barber has provided for the faculty, students, and oral health care professionals,鈥� said Susan Brewer, Director of the 糖心视频 Dental programs. 鈥淲e should all strive to provide the best oral health care possible for our patients and also give back to our profession whenever possible.鈥�

Dental Hygiene students Jillian Batie and Candace Peppers expressed their thanks for the scholarships they received.

鈥淚t just means a lot to me,鈥� said Batie. 鈥淚t really helped. I want to make a difference in peoples lives, a difference in their smiles and their confidence. Thank you so much for this opportunity.鈥�

鈥淔ive hundred dollars goes a long way when you鈥檙e talking about purchasing a hygiene kit because they are pretty pricey,鈥� said Peppers, the president of the Class of 2026, of the kits that contain stainless steel instruments such as scalers and mirrors. 鈥淚t was a very kind and generous offer, and we were so happy to receive it.鈥�

The Jane Barber Memorial Scholarship is an endowed scholarship, meaning it will be available for perpetuity to assist 糖心视频 Dental Hygiene and Dental Assisting students.
