Scholarships for Dental Hygiene Majors

Are you studying or hoping to study to be a dental hygienist, but are concerned about how you’ll be able to afford school? You’re in luck, because there are plenty of scholarships available that exclusively fund the education of future dental hygienists. Private foundations and industry groups offer many of these. To be eligible for these scholarships, many require current full-time enrollment in a dental hygiene program, demonstrated financial need and educational achievement. Some are available exclusively to students who have already completed a few years of study towards becoming a dental hygienist. Applicants may also need to submit an essay or biographical sketch, and letters of reference. Find the perfect scholarship to match your needs in the list below.
