Kansas Initiative for New Dentists Scholarship

Scholarship Description

Since 2011, the Kansas Dental Association (KDA) and Kansas Dental Charitable Foundation (KDCF), in partnership with Delta Dental of Kansas, have promoted dentists to practice in rural Kansas through the Kansas Initiative for New Dentists (KIND) Program.

The KIND Program includes three opportunities to encourage dentists to locate in rural areas of Kansas.

A dental student is eligible to apply for the KIND Scholarship each year and, as such, it is possible to receive up to $100,000 in total scholarship assistance. In return, the student commits to practicing dentistry in a rural area as a KanCare (Medicaid) provider for a period of time determined by the total KIND scholarship award.
