Your gift can help us raise $30,000 for Dental Student Scholarships

Jun 21, 2016

Between tuition, books, materials, and basic living expenses, most dental students leave school with significant student loans. Any scholarship can help reduce both this amount and the pressure or worry an upcoming young dentist can feel while making ends meet during school.

The Georgia Dental Association is proud to partner with the Emile T. Fisher Foundation for Dental Education in Georgia to fund dental education scholarships. Every year, more than 25 dental students receive funds that help with the cost of their education thanks to donations from GDA members like you.

With your gift of $25, $50, or $100, we can help students continue to receive valuable scholarships through the Emile T. Fisher Foundation. Together, your gift, along with gifts from hundreds of other GDA dentists, can help us raise $30,000 for incoming student scholarships.

Will you help us reach our goal?

We've already raised $30,000, and are counting on the continued support of our generous members. Please consider a small contribution to help us match this amount and provide $60,000 in scholarships. Your gift will provide funds to both incoming and continuing young dental students, making a big difference for them as they pursue the dental profession.

$25.00 can help a student purchase basic lab equipment for classes.
$50.00 can cover the cost of dental mounting plates for a D2.
$100.00 could provide a fixed dentoform for simulating patient conditions.

Give online today through the foundation's secure online site, or make checks payable to:
