Scholarships

The scholarship application process for 2025–2026 opens on June 2, 2025.

Year after year, the VCU School of Dentistry awards scholarships to deserving and talented students, each year exceeding both the amount of funding awarded and the number of students who receive scholarships.  

All of the scholarships to which you may apply are made possible through the generosity of alumni and friends who have made donations in support of your education and your future. Learn more about the various scholarships available to you – read the stories about why funds were created and who created them. You may find that you are a perfect match for one or more scholarships. 

Online applications, for the Dentistry scholarships, may be submitted June 2 through June 27 at 11:59 p.m. You may apply for multiple scholarships using ONE online application. Please carefully review all the scholarships for which you are eligible and are applying to before submitting your application. You may not submit more than one application.

Our alumni and friends established these scholarships to support you on your quest to become dental professionals. Please take a moment of your time to honor their intentions, and apply for a scholarship. Dentistry scholarship recipients will be notified after July 15. 

If you experience any technical difficulties please let the Office of Information Technology know by emailing denhelpdesk@vcu.edu and include "Scholarships" in the subject line.  We will handle the request as soon as possible. For your own record keeping, please take a screenshot of the submission message and time stamp you receive when you complete the scholarship application process.
