General Scholarship Information

Listed below is general contact information for organizations that have, or may, provide scholarship funds for our students. In most cases, the School of Dentistry Financial Aid Office will send notification to students about scholarships via email. Information listed is subject to change. Incoming students are generally not eligible for scholarships until they have actually begun the program.

We would also like to encourage students to seek out scholarship opportunities that may not be known to us. For example, a student may be eligible for an award from a corporation where a family member works. There are also a number of websites that list a wide range of scholarships, such as www.fastweb.com. We have done a great deal of searching to find scholarship opportunities for our students. If, however, you know of a scholarship opportunity not listed here, that may benefit our students, please send a note to fdoucett@dent.ucla.edu. Thank you.
