 A grant of nearly $450,000 will go to Bemidji State to help improve diversity in the nation's nursing workforce. The grant is from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and will allow the school to offer scholarships and financial support to as many as 12 American Indian nursing students. American Indian nursing students can begin taking advantage of the program beginning this fall.
