Scholarships

The Dental Branch is able to offer a limited number of competitive academic scholarships to the entering class of DDS degree candidates.  These scholarships are made possible through the generous donations of the UTDB Alumni Association, The Mu Mu Chapter of Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honorary Dental Society and the Greater Houston Dental Society via the Daniel C. Kamas Memorial Fund. 

Scholarships awarded at the direction of the sponsors are primarily competitive academic scholarships, designated primarily for those demonstrating superior academic performance.   Additional criteria for the scholarship consideration include all those factors utilized by the Admissions Committee in their selection process.  In addition, the Daniel C. Kamas Scholarship requires the designation of one male and one female recipient per year.  All applicants to the entering class are considered. 

The awarding of these scholarships is determined by the scholarship sub-committee of the Dental Admissions committee, contingent upon approval by the Admissions committee and the Dean. Awarding of these scholarships on an annual basis is dependent upon funding by the supporting organizations.
