Welcome, and thank you for your interest in the ADHA Institute for Oral Health. The ADHA Institute is a foundation created to provide funding for educational scholarships, fellowships, research grants, and community service grants to dental hygienists throughout the United States. (Descriptions of our programs, including eligibility requirements and downloadable applications, can be found throughout the website.)

All Institute programs are funded directly by individual and corporate donors. As a non-profit 501(c)3 foundation, the ADHA Institute for Oral Health relies on the continued support of ADHA members and organizations, SADHA (student) members and chapters, dedicated oral health professionals, and corporate supporters.

On behalf of the Institute Board of Directors, I thank you for your interest in our website and the profession of dental hygiene. Further, we would like to thank all of our current donors and encourage supporters of the dental hygiene profession to make an online contribution. The ADHA Institute was founded by dental hygienists for dental hygienists. And, it is through your generosity that we achieve our funding goals.

Sincerely,

Helena Gallant Tripp, RDH
