Women in Dentistry: A unique scholarship opportunity.

Women and minorities have long been under-represented in fields of medicine, including dentistry. With this mind, a generous Global Dental Relief (GDR) volunteer is underwriting a scholarship program for minority women pursuing a career in dentistry.

This scholarship program is open to female students from communities of color pursuing a career in the dental field.

Successful applicants will be awarded a $1000 scholarship to join a GDR project of their choice (given availability). Please note that the scholarship will not cover the total sum of the project fees, recipients are individually responsible for the remaining balance.

You may also email volunteer@globaldentalrelief.org with any questions.

Global Dental Relief is a Colorado based non-profit that provides free dental care and oral health education to underserved communities around the world. Interested applicants can learn more about GDR's mission by clicking here.
