Pittsburgh-based North American Dental Group's inaugural scholarship program is affording students the opportunity to gain financial assistance, mentorship and research participation.
NADG awarded the first scholarships in June to five fourth-year students attending New York Medical College's Touro College of Dental Medicine in Hawthorne, according to an Aug. 3 press release.
In addition to financial assistance, the students will have the opportunity to be paired with an NADG-supported dentist for professional mentoring. They will also be able to participate in oral health research programs led by the DSO's Professional Dental Alliance.
North American Dental Group was founded in 2008 and is affiliated with more than 250 dental practices across 15 states.
