The Washington University Dental Alumni Association (WUDAA) has created a scholarship for the study of Dental Medicine. Washington University no longer has a School of Dental Medicine; however, the Alumni Association would like to continue its long history of supporting quality dental education.
The Alumni Association believes that this scholarship will help a promising student complete his or her dental education, thereby, helping the public receive quality dental care.
The award is subject to certain eligibility requirements. Each scholarship is awarded solely at the discretion of the WUDAA Scholarship Application Review Committee.
