Pathways to Dentistry Award

The Pathways to Dentistry Award is awarded to a student with satisfactory academic standing entering the first year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Alberta. Selection is based on academic standing, indicated financial need, and an expressed desire to pursue a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree upon completion of their first degree. Preference is given to students from equity-deserving groups. This award provides financial support to help students pursue their educational goals in dentistry. The award is renewable for an additional three years, subject to maintaining satisfactory academic standing on 24 credits of coursework in each year. This provides recipients with continued support throughout their undergraduate studies as they prepare for their future dental education.
