2016 SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
In 2010, the Robert J. Sullivan Family Foundation initially
established the DTA Foundation scholarship fund as a way to honor their father and give back to an industry that he cared for deeply. Since then, the scholarship program has awarded 17 ,000 in scholarships to dental students.
It’s humbling to see how driven these scholarship recipients are. They’re all doing so much.” 10
TIM SULLIVAN, Bob’s son, helped shape what the scholarship
program was looking for in its recipients. The Sullivan Family Foundation’s goal is to support students who want to become true health care providers in their communities. “Looking back, I’m pleasantly surprised at the process. You never know what will happen when you’re getting something started. There were—and are—a lot of great candidates to choose from,” said Tim.

The Foundation is a way to genuinely advance the values and mission of the dental industry as a whole. It investigates the very critical links between oral care and health care and puts those links into practice—proving the benefit of really effective oral care and its genuine impact on a more efficient health care system.�

2016 SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
DURING THE 2016 AUC TION, the DTA Foundation held a paddle
raiser—“Fund-A-Future”—to raise money specifically for the DTA Foundation Scholarship program. The results were astounding.
“Although the dental industry overall is a big industry, everyone is like family. We’ve got great members [in the Dental Trade Alliance] who come out and support. As a result, we deliver—over deliver—on what we say. People like to be part of something that’s good.”

Since the inception of the grant program in 2002, the DTA Foundation has
awarded more than 1.7 million in grant funding to 80 innovative projects designed to increase access to oral health care. Past recipients have used DTA Foundation seed money for innovative programs designed to improve the access to and productivity of the oral health care system, leveraging in excess of 10. million in additional funding for these promising projects.
T H E P R O CE SS In order to apply for seed funding, programs must show they can: — create innovative solutions in oral health care, — launch a pilot project that leverages and expands resources to fund unique and promising initiatives, and — achieve measurable impact and facilitate real change in oral health care awareness and access.
