2022 Scholarships
The ISDS Foundation board of directors announced they would award six scholarships at $6,000 each (2 for each dental school) for 2022. We want to thank the Delta Dental Foundation for its donations to the ISDS Foundation. Because of their generosity, we have been able to award more scholarships. The application deadline each year is May 31.  

Current D3 students enrolled in the third year of an accredited four-year traditional pre-doctorate dental program in Illinois may apply, with scholarship recipients being announced in early July.
