Foundation Scholarships, Fellowships Awarded for 2009-2010

The Dental Foundation of North Carolina hosted a dinner on April 8, 2010, to honor the donors and recipients of the Foundation’s endowed scholarships and fellowships.

Those endowments permitted the Foundation to award about $250,000 in scholarship and fellowship funding to dental hygiene, DDS and post-DDS students for the 2009-2010 academic year.

“Over the 50-plus year history of the Dental Foundation of North Carolina, alumni and friends have established numerous scholarships and fellowships to help our dental assisting, dental hygiene, DDS and post-DDS students pursue their education here at the UNC School of Dentistry,” said Paul Gardner, associate dean of advancement at the School of Dentistry. “We are grateful to those generous donors who help reduce student debt and make it possible for our graduates to do the kind of work they want to do in the communities in which they want to practice.”
