The Basch Memorial Scholarship Award is made annually to Dent 3 students who have completed no less than 3 quarters of the clinical program. They must have displayed superior clinical abilities and have demonstrated outstanding abilities in communicating and working with patients through humanistic and professional behaviors. Faculty members usually nominate students. Students may apply on their own behalf but must have 2 faculty endorsements to be considered. A faculty committee chooses the awardees from candidates endorsed by faculty.
Funds are available for the student's fourth year.
The Marquard Award is given to Dent 3 and Dent 4 students with a minimum 2.5 GPA, whose clinical performance and behavior shows exemplary application of theoretical, practical and personal skills in providing quality care to patients in the dental clinic. The Dean selects the awardees from students nominated by the Comprehensive Care Clinic Directors. The William R. Wallace Research Award is presented to Dent 2 and Dent 3 students who have demonstrated outstanding skills in the research arena. The funds are applied to the awardees' tuition during the following academic year. The College Office of Research and Graduate Studies manages this award.
