Thanks to alumni and friends of Detroit Mercy Dental, $55,825 worth of scholarships were awarded to current students. The types of scholarships students may apply to vary. Many times, donors choose to specify the criteria based on a variety of factors included: GPA, leadership activities, financial need, family responsibilities, and mentoring experience, etc.
Of 47 applicants, 31 students were awarded scholarships for the 2017-2018 academic year, averaging $1,431 per award. Most of the recipients awarded were in the Dental Class of 2018 or Dental Class of 2019; all recipients have been notified of awards.
