Where Do Your Dollars Go?
Contributions from alumni and friends have been generous and have become vital to address many needs, such as improvements in our clinical facilities, classrooms, public areas, and students' lives. The cost of a dental education is staggering and can be a limiting factor for many who want to enter the profession. Debts in excess of $250,000 upon graduation are common. Scholarships and awards are essential to our students, the School, and our region.
Your support to the School of Dental Medicine has made many accomplishments possible, such as:
- Providing student support with need- and merit-based financial assistance;
- Administering continuing education programs for dental professionals;
- Attracting and retaining the finest faculty and researchers; and
- Providing quality and affordable oral health care for the community.
To accomplish these goals, your support is crucial. By directing your gift to an area or department that is most meaningful to you, you contribute to the advancement of our work and enable the School to attract the best and brightest students and keep our mission of caring and compassion in our community alive.
