The mission of the ADHA Institute for Oral Health is to support advancements in the dental hygiene field through the discovery and application of knowledge. This includes funding original research, developmental projects, and both qualitative and quantitative research in dental hygiene, aimed at improving education, practice, and delivery of oral healthcare.
The Irene Woodall Graduate Scholarship supports graduate-level education in dental hygiene or related fields. It offers financial assistance to help recipients advance their education and, by extension, the field of dental hygiene. The number of awards granted annually can vary, and each scholarship provides a funding amount of $2,000. This grant program is designed to help alleviate the financial burden of graduate education and promote professional growth within the dental hygiene community.
