Giving Areas
Student Experience & Success
Our dental students are our greatest asset and are at the heart of our mission. An important way to support them is through scholarship giving. There are several scholarships available to support student success. The Fund for Excellence helps to defray those expenses not covered by State funds as well as to provide financial support for other unique faculty and student needs. Our students are changing the future of oral health by learning and serving to improve care, and advance the profession. Your gift helps them make this critical impact while becoming experienced oral health professionals.
