The MDA Foundation continues to offer its long-standing Dental and Dental Hygiene Scholarship Program. For the 2019-2020 academic year, the MDAF awarded three $5,000 dental scholarships. The MDAF Board and staff worked very hard this year to promote the scholarship. The MDAF is eager to assist our future dentists and asks that you promote this program in your communities. In an effort to award scholarships to students who are more likely to stay in Missouri after graduation, the scholarship criteria requires all applicants to have been a resident of Missouri for a minimum of five years and be a graduate from a Missouri high school. Below are dental scholarship recipients along with the high school from which they graduated. Dental Scholarship Recipients: 1) Mitchell Hanson (Logan Rogersville High, Rogersville)2) Julia Lincicum (Jackson Senior High, Jackson)3) Drew Williamson (Francis Howell North High, St. Charles)Since 1999, the MDA Foundation has awarded $288,750 in dental and dental hygiene scholarships to students in Missouri.
