INTRODUCTION

The DC Dental Society Foundation Scholarship Program offers annual scholarships to enrolled Howard University College of Dentistry dental students. This program demonstrates concern about the high cost of dental education and its negative impact on the career choices of graduating dentists by doing as much as possible for individual students and raising awareness of the serious issue of dental school student debt.

DC Dental Society Foundation established the dental student scholarship program in 2023 to demonstrate support for Howard University College of Dentistry (HUCD) students and their contributions to dentistry.
Nominations and letters of endorsement for student applicants may be submitted by HUCD alumni, HUCD faculty members, or DC Dental Society Members. Candidates shall demonstrate financial need and be in good academic standing.
