    About this scholarship

    The Dental Scholarship Program is designed to incentivize future dentists to establish their practices in underserved regions of Wisconsin. Eligible participants must be state residents enrolled in the dental training curriculum at Marquette University. Recipients are required to sign an agreement committing to practice in a designated Dental Health Shortage Area within the state, excluding several major urban counties, for a duration of eighteen months per year of funding received. If a recipient leaves the academic program early or fails to fulfill the service obligation in an approved shortage area, the received funds convert into a loan that must be repaid to the state.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
