Six MO dental students received $5,000 awards.

The MDA Foundation Board met in March to make selections for their 2025-2026 dental student scholarship recipients. After thorough discussion and deliberation, they slowly whittled down a pool of 21 worthy applicants to the following six winners. Each will receive $5,000 toward their tuition next school year. Since 1999 the MDA Foundation has awarded 114 dental scholarships totalling $396,000 in support to Missouri dental students. Congratulations to these future MDA leaders!
