Limited scholarships are available to individuals enrolled in the DMD program. Students must prove financial need and/or be selected for their academic performance to be considered for these limited funds. Parental information is required on financial aid applications, and a subsequent parent tax return will be required. Information and application materials can be found on the College of Dentistry Web site. Dental students are encouraged to seek outside financial support within their hometown communities. Contacting service clubs, dental societies, hospital auxiliaries, and church organizations, can offer other potential sources of financial assistance.
The UF College of Dentistry attempts to provide additional assistance via college scholarships and loans. These resources are very limited. All awards are based on eligibility and availability.
