For those interested in investing in the future of dentistry, we invite you to consider a gift of an endowed scholarship or professorship.  Endowed scholarships allow the School of Dentistry to invest in bright students who might otherwise be unable to afford a Marquette dental education.  Scholarships also offer our graduates the potential to accumulate less debt. Endowed scholarships to the dental school begin at $50,000; you can add to your scholarship over time or augment it through your estate plans.

An endowed fellowship provides tuition support for students pursuing one of our many post-doctoral dental programs.  Fellowships enable us to recruit the most promising students in these fields.  Like scholarships, the minimum commitment to create an endowed fellowship fund is $50,000 and can be paid over time.  The fellowship can be named to honor a loved one and can be restricted to any one of our master’s programs.

A gift of an endowed professorship is a special gift for those wanting to invest in the future of dental education.  With an investment of $1 million or more, an endowed professorship allows us to recruit the most respected educators in the field, knowing the salary and other related expenses are off-set by the gift itself.  This, in turn, means our students receive the best possible dental education.
