SPRINGFIELD – In 2020, the ISDS Foundation board of directors announced they would award three scholarships at $6,000 each. This represented a significant increase from scholarships in previous years. Current D3 students enrolled in the third year of an accredited four-year traditional pre-doctorate dental program in Illinois may apply in the spring each year, with scholarship recipients being announced in early July.

This year’s Scholarship winners are:

  • Jacqueline Hassenplug, Midwestern College of Dental Medicine
  • Benjamin Richardson, University of Illinois College of Dentistry
  • Alexandra Nash, Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine

Applicants were required to submit an application, essay and an academic status of University Good Standing.
