Mission

The Inver Hills Community College Foundation cultivates resources to help students start their journey, stay the course, and succeed in life.

D3M (Doug Differt Difference Makers)

The D3M initiative is a unique program linking students, IHCC and DCTC and the transportation construction industry. Scholarships are awarded each year for students in the engineering, civil technology, construction management and heavy equipment maintenance programs at IHCC and DCTC, and students make important connections to the industry with many internship opportunities offered by industry partners.

Your gift will support the work of the Foundation and students savings for TuitionMatch.

The result: more dollars invested to make sure low-income, working Minnesotans are one step closer to earning a college degree with minimal debt.
