Scholarship Overview

UNLV Dental Medicine Scholarships

The Regents Higher Education Opportunity Award is available to new incoming students to the UNLV School of Dental Medicine (UNLV SDM). Admitted students to UNLV SDM are automatically considered by the UNLV SDM Scholarship Committee. This award is a yearly renewable scholarship based on maintaining a 3.4 cumulative grade point average, being in good academic standing and possessing ethical and professional standards per the expectations of the UNLV School of Dental Medicine. Scholarship eligibility is reviewed at the end of each semester.

Scholarship awards are divided evenly between the fall, spring, and summer semesters and are credited directly to your tuition account. You must complete each semester for which you are to receive a scholarship award; that portion of your scholarship award applicable to any semester that you do not complete must be returned to the UNLV School of Dental Medicine.
