The National Dental Association Foundation (NDAF) proudly offers a comprehensive portfolio of scholarships and fellowships to support the next generation of dental professionals. These awards—ranging from $750 to $70,000—are available to pre-doctoral dental students, post-doctoral candidates, and individuals pursuing careers in dental hygiene and dental assisting. By reducing financial barriers and celebrating academic excellence, NDAF scholarships empower aspiring oral health professionals of African American descent, fostering a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive dental workforce.

We invite you to explore the wide range of scholarship and fellowship opportunities made possible through our valued partnerships with the Colgate-Palmolive Company and the Procter & Gamble Company. In addition, NDAF offers matching scholarships and collaborates with local and state chapters of the National Dental Association to further extend our reach and impact.
