Scholarships

What is a scholarship?

A scholarship is a financial award for a student to further his or her education. It is merit based, reflective of values and purposes of the donor and the American Dental Partners Foundation.

The Foundation awards scholarships to general, specialty, dental hygiene and dental assistant students. The criteria for these scholarships include academic achievement, financial need and demonstrated attributes of an individual in group practice, professional leadership, teamwork and clinical excellence.

We maintain current scholarships at the following educational institutions of higher learning:

Erie County Community College – Dental Hygiene
Monroe Community College – Dental Hygiene
Mount Wachusett Community College – Dental Hygiene
Erie County Community College – Dental Assistant
Monroe County Community College – Dental Assistant
Hudson Valley Community College – Dental Hygiene
Springfield Technical Community College – Dental Hygiene
