2021 Scholarships
The ISDS Foundation board of directors announced they would award six scholarships at $6,000 each (2 for each dental school) for 2021. This represented a significant increase from scholarships in previous years.

Current D3 students enrolled in the third year of an accredited four-year traditional pre-doctorate dental program in Illinois may apply, with scholarship recipients being announced in early July. 

The application deadline each year is May 31. Find out more here.
