HONOLULU (HI Now) - There is a shortage of dental health professionals in Hawaii, especially on the neighbor islands. This means oral health is not as easily accessible for many in Hawaii. Providing scholarships to deserving dental students and dental hygiene students is a way the HDS Foundation is trying to change this by developing and supporting the local workforce.
The scholarships is HDS’ way of investing in the next generation of dental professionals. They hope more students can find quality jobs here in Hawaii, and make oral health more accessible for more people in Waipahu and other communities across our islands.
They encourage students who want to be dentists or dental hygienists to visit the HDS Foundation website at HDSFoundation.gives to learn more about our scholarship programs.
