Under existing law, the Board of Dental Scholarship Awards establishes scholarships to provide for and further dental training, in pursuance of a dental degree, of qualified applicants for admission to the University of Alabama School of Dentistry or other accredited dental schools and administers the Alabama Dental Service Program, the Alabama Rural Dental Health Scholars Program, and the Rural Dental Scholars Program.
This bill would rename the board the Board of Dental Scholarship and Loan Awards and provide further for the membership and meetings of the board.
This bill would also eliminate the Rural Dental Scholars Program and grant the board the authority to make loans for furthering dental education and training at the University of Alabama School of Dentistry or other accredited dental schools and provide for the repayment of the loans.
