The National Dental Association and Nashville, Tenn.-based teledentistry company SmileDirectClub have established a scholarship to promote diversity in dentistry.
The SmileDirectClub-National Dental Association Achievement Scholarship aims to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in the dental industry and remove barriers to health equity.
The one-time, $7,500 scholarships will be awarded to 28 student members of the National Dental Association who are second-, third- or fourth-year dental students or postgraduate public health students.
The deadline for application submissions is Nov. 1.
