The scholarship is named after Carolyn Ghazal, DDS, a member of the foundation’s board of directors. It provides dental assisting students with need-based financial aid, mentorship and on-the-job training.

Since the beginning of 2022, the Pacific Dental Services Foundation has awarded more than $202,000 to 44 dental assisting students in 12 states, according to the news release.
