The Michigan Primary Care Association, with funding support from the Delta Dental Foundation and the Michigan Health Endowment Fund, has developed Michigan's first dental therapy scholarship! Visit MPCA's Dental Therapy Scholarship Webpage for more information and to apply!

more providers in underserved areas and

fewer barriers to dental care for those who need it most.
