DR. RICHARD D. & TERINA NEWMAN MARTINEZ ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP

A scholarship fund was established in 2016 by Richard and Terina Martinez to support students in their 2nd or 3rd year in the School of Dentistry, carry a minimum of a 3.5 GPA, demonstrate an interest in general dentistry, and demonstrate involvement in school and community activities. Those students who have received assistance from the scholarship fund are encouraged, when and if they are financially capable (preferably within ten years of graduation), to reimburse the scholarship fund in an amount at least equal to that which they have received, in order that future students may have the opportunity to receive assistance from the scholarship fund.

One $2,000 scholarship will be awarded.

1. Be in their 1st or 2nd year of dental school at the time of application.
