2008 CORA UELAND SCHOLARSHIP

Dental Hygiene Associates Incorporated (DHAI), a subsidiary organization of the California Dental Hygienists’ Association, is pleased to announce the sixth annual Cora Ueland Scholarship for dental hygiene students. This scholarship was first established as a fund in the 1950’s in the memory of Cora Ueland, founder and director of the dental hygiene program at the University of Southern California. Supported by individual and component donations, the fund was distributed in recent years as a loan to eligible students. In 1998, the CDHA Board of Trustees voted to convert the loan into a scholarship. Two $1,000 awards will be awarded to one (1) first year and one (1) second year student.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
