The George W. Neilson Foundation recently awarded $25,000 to support graduates of the Bemidji Career Academies who will attend Northwest Technical College in fall 2022.
The goal is to award a $1,000 scholarship to 25 students. There are currently 800 students in grades 9-12 participating in the Bemidji Career Academies, a release said.
