Is there a scholarship for dental professionals?

Air Force Dental Health Profession Scholarship Program (HPSP) scholarships are for four- or three-year periods and pays full tuition and all required fees. This includes reimbursement for textbooks, small equipment items and supplies needed for study. You’ll also receive a monthly allowance for living expenses. You must be a U.S. citizen enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an ADA-accredited dental school. Your payback is a minimum commitment of three years and begins after you complete dental school.
