The Danner Dental Scholarship Program
Dr. Jeff Danner founded the Danner Dental Scholarship program in 2006 as a way to give back to the community. Knowing the importance of a good education as well as the financial difficulties often faced by dentistry students, he felt that offering awards to a few deserving students would make the first year of college a bit easier.
As a Stark County native, Dr. Danner values his ability to support our local community and partner with the efforts of those who will make a difference in the future. The Danner Dental Scholarship program provides scholarships to high school graduates who plan to study dentistry, medicine, or a related science field in college.
Our scholars have varied backgrounds, interests and careers. When considering applicants, the Danner Dental Scholarship committee looks at the student as a whole, not just at their grades and test scores. Ideal candidates should be well rounded, with areas of interest that demonstrate a commitment to making an impact in their community, and/or plans to make the world a better place. In addition to an online application, required documents include a personal essay and a recommendation from a teacher.
