Scholarships and Grants

As part of our mission, the MDHA recognizes and encourages students and life-long learners to improve the public’s overall health while advancing the art and science of dental hygiene.

We’re here to help provide access to scholarships and grants.

Below is a list of scholarship and grant opportunities, offering financial assistance to further YOUR academic achievements and the advancement of the dental hygiene field.
