Patty Gainer Memorial Continuing Scholarship in Clinical Dental Hygiene

The Patty Gainer Memorial Continuing Scholarship in Clinical Dental Hygiene is awarded to students with superior academic achievement enrolled in the final year of a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene at the University of Alberta. The scholarship recognizes students who demonstrate excellence in both academic performance and clinical practice, with a particular emphasis on periodontal care with local anesthesia. Selection is based on three key criteria: academic standing, demonstrated excellence in periodontal care with local anesthesia, and demonstrated empathy and compassion for patients shown during their clinical experience. This scholarship honors the legacy of Patty Gainer and supports students who exemplify the highest standards of clinical dental hygiene practice and patient care.
