The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) Tribal Oral Health Initiative is pleased to offer an opportunity to support dental therapy education in the 2023-2024 academic year. NIHB invites Tribes, Tribal organizations, and health organizations sponsoring a dental therapy student to complete an application for NIHB's Dental Therapy Student Sponsorship Fund. Entities sponsoring more than one student should submit one complete application.
Six $10,000 awards are available to Tribal entities supporting enrolled or accepted dental therapy students to support tuition costs of a dental therapy education program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). Support for additional expenses related to the student's dental therapy education may be considered. Student Sponsorship Fund applications are reviewed by a committee of public health professionals.
Applications are due by October 31, 2023, and recipients will be notified by November 30, 2023. Email applications to Dawn Landon at dlandon@nihb.org with "Dental Therapy Student Sponsorship Fund Application" in the subject.
This opportunity is part of NIHB's Tribal Oral Health Initiative.
For questions, contact Brett Weber, NIHB Public Health Policy and Programs Manager, at BWeber@nihb.org or Dawn Landon Public Health Policy and Programs Coordinator at Dlandon@nihb.org
