The ICD-WUDAA Scholarship Program offers annual scholarships to qualified students enrolled in a USA dental school, including international students, to help alleviate the high cost of dental education and its negative impact on the career choices of graduating dentists while raising awareness of the serious issue of dental school student debt.
New to the program this year is the sixth scholarship, which has been added by the USA Section Foundation in memory of the late USA Fellow Dr. Tom Emmering. Dr. Emmering’s legacy was present in his service and leadership to his community and dentistry. The impact he made in the USA Section is still seen and felt by Fellows past and current. Honoring Dr. Emmering’s memory with this scholarship will continue his commitment to the dental profession.
