The Michigan Dental Association Foundation awards scholarships annually to dental, dental hygiene and dental assisting students. We believe that the people of Michigan deserve exceptional dental health professionals. Your financial donation can help to make this happen.
MDA Foundation scholarships are all are need based funds. Need is determined by the FAFSA on file at the school. The MDA Foundation does not require the forms, as the recommendation serves as verification. The scholarship application period for dental and dental hygiene students opens in mid-July and concludes Sept. 30 of each year.
