In 2019, the School of Dentistry launched the Dean’s Scholarship Fund for Leadership & Excellence. This current-use scholarship fund puts donations to work immediately by providing financial assistance to students using the philanthropic support of annual donors.

Over 450 UMSOD alumni and friends have donated more than $160,000 to this scholarship fund. We need the help of alumni, faculty, and friends of the School to meet our goal of raising $50,000 or more for this fund in fiscal year 2023 (July 01, 2022 – June 30, 2023)! 

We hope you will take part in our Socks for Scholarships initiative. Any donor who makes a minimum gift or pledge of $100 to the Dean’s Scholarship Fund for Leadership & Excellence will receive a pair of specially-branded UMSOD socks as a thank you for supporting our students on their journey to becoming the next generation of oral health professionals. This year's socks feature the wildly popular Maryland flag tooth. Supplies are limited, so act today to support our students!
