High School Students Awarded Scholarships in Allied Health Competition hosted by Delta Technical College

April 15, 2019 by Delta Technical College

Horn Lake, MS. –Several high school students received scholarships for their presentations at the annual Midwest Technical Institute and Delta Technical College Live, Breathe and Smile Competition held on April 11, 2019.

The MTI and DTC Live, Breathe and Smile Competition is an invite-only competition for high school seniors who are motivated to pursue a career in the allied health industry, which includes medical assisting, dental assisting and more. Students competed by creating a visual aid on the unhealthy effects smoking has on physical and/or oral health. The projects were displayed and judged during the event.

Finishing in first place was Lariel Jenkins of Sheffield High School, who won a $2,000 DTC scholarship. Second place was awarded to Lisbeth Le’on of Southaven High School, who was awarded a $1,500 DTC scholarship. Tyresha Robinson of Gateway Christian School finished in third place, winning a $1,000 DTC scholarship.

The LBS Competition is intended to provide financial assistance to help offset tuition and additional costs associated with allied health programs. All participants received a $500 DTC scholarship and had the opportunity to enroll in one of DTC’s allied health programs.

Campus President of DTC’s Horn Lake campus, Tom Pullin, described this year’s competition:

“All the competitors showed so much creativity in their projects. This competition is all about having an interest in pursuing a career in allied health. This industry requires a passion for helping others to be healthier. DTC aims to provide the hands-on training students need to enter the workforce, and we hope these scholarships help those who plan to pursue this career path through education.”

Highlights of the competition included:

  • Meet and greet with Campus Directors, Program Coordinators, Instructors and current students
  • Family-friendly fun, including music, food and beverages
  • Free “How to Afford College” Financial Aid workshop
  • Breakout sessions led by lab instructors, including student demos and interactive Q&A sessions
  • Campus tours of our allied health programs and meetings with Career Services and Financial Aid

DTC’s allied health programs provide students the skills and hands-on training geared to meet the demands of today’s employers. The goal is for students to gain entry-level employment in the allied health field, including positions such as medical assistant, dental assistant or other allied health professional.
